rel="noopener">Information on how to sign up for topical corridor and table of contents alerts</a>.</p> <p>Submissions to the AAS journals should be directed to one of the topical corridors, described below. Each corridor is managed by a different Lead Editor, and with a few minor exceptions, these corridors have been chosen to match existing IAU divisions. As it is inevitable that some submissions will fall near the boundaries of these corridors, the authors should choose the corridor that they believe best reflects the emphasis of the submission. The Lead Editors reserve the right to redirect manuscripts they feel would be better suited to a different submission corridor.</p> <p>The AAS journal corridors do not uniquely define the division of subject material between <em>The Astrophysical Journal and The Astronomical Journal</em>. The corridor descriptions below include a brief explanation of which topics will be directed to each journal within the corridor. If authors wish to indicate a journal preference that does not correspond to these descriptions, they will have the opportunity to do so during the submission process. If necessary, they can add a justification for that choice to their cover letter.</p> <p>Authors of relatively short articles of unusual significance and broad interest should select <em>The Astrophysical Journal Letters</em> at manuscript submission.</p> <p>The <a href="http://rnaas.aas.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Research Notes of the AAS</em></a> is a new venue for authors to promptly and briefly share materials of interest with the astronomical community; <a href="https://aas.msubmit.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">submissions</a> were first accepted in October 2017.</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="conselice" class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1539096010659 vc_row-has-fill"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner vc_custom_1534160530751"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1534161301574 vc_row-has-fill"><div class="AAS_Icon_One wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left wpb_content_element vc_custom_1534245072496 AAS-Icon_Galaxies"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img decoding="async" class="vc_single_image-img " src="https://journals.aas.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/AAS-Icon_Galaxies-43x43.png" width="43" height="43" alt="AAS-Icon_Galaxies" title="AAS-Icon_Galaxies" loading="lazy" /></div> </figure> </div> </div></div></div><div class="AAS_Icon_heading wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-10"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><h3 style="color: #8a7551;text-align: right" class="vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading" >Galaxies and Cosmology</h3></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1534161335887 vc_row-has-fill"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>This corridor includes most topics relating to galaxies and cosmology from within the Local Group to the very early universe. This includes: early universe physics, dark matter, dark energy, cosmological models, cosmological parameters (e.g. the Hubble constant, etc.) the cosmic microwave and other diffuse backgrounds, galaxy and structure formation and evolution, stellar populations and the evolution of galaxies, physics and observations of galaxies and galaxy clusters, the intergalactic medium and reionization, and large surveys of the universe. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) may be included here (although some aspects of AGN will also appear in the High Energy Phenomena and Fundamental Physics corridor). Articles about the internal dynamics of galaxies go to this corridor. Articles that use objects, such as supernovae, primarily as tools to study the universe as a whole should also be submitted to this corridor. Accepted articles submitted to this corridor will be published in <em>ApJ</em> if they have significant theoretical or astrophysical content, <em>AJ</em> if they are primarily observational, or <em>ApJ</em> Supplements if they are devoted to the description of large data sets with little theoretical interpretation.</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="corridor-right-section wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><h5 style="text-align: center" class="vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading vc_custom_1534159624282" >Christopher Conselice</h5><h6 style="text-align: center" class="vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading" >University of Manchester, UK</h6> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element vc_custom_1534169452565"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img decoding="async" class="vc_single_image-img " src="https://journals.aas.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Christopher-Conselice-160x160.png" width="160" height="160" alt="Christopher-Conselice" title="Christopher-Conselice" loading="lazy" /></div> </figure> </div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1539084925478" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p><em><a href="https://twitter.com/conselice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">@conselice</a></em></p> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="vc_tta-container" data-vc-action="collapseAll"><div class="vc_general vc_tta vc_tta-accordion vc_tta-color-grey vc_tta-style-classic vc_tta-shape-rounded vc_tta-o-shape-group vc_tta-controls-align-default vc_tta-o-no-fill vc_tta-o-all-clickable vc_custom_1539088201035"><div class="vc_tta-panels-container"><div class="vc_tta-panels"><div class="vc_tta-panel" id="1539087735351-5b840bc5-2397" data-vc-content=".vc_tta-panel-body"><div class="vc_tta-panel-heading"><h4 class="vc_tta-panel-title vc_tta-controls-icon-position-left"><a href="#1539087735351-5b840bc5-2397" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=".vc_tta-container"><span class="vc_tta-title-text">Lead Editor Biography</span><i class="vc_tta-controls-icon vc_tta-controls-icon-chevron"></i></a></h4></div><div class="vc_tta-panel-body"> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p>Christopher Conselice is a Full Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Nottingham, where he has been since 2005.
