astro-ph split
Posted: September 14 2005
Following up the cosmo-ph thread (http://cosmocoffee.info/viewtopic.php?t=234 ): arXiv has announced the new classification scheme (a week ago, but I didn't notice until now): http://arxiv.org/new/physics.html . There are to be four "super-sections":
physics.AA Astrophysics
physics.HH High-Energy Physics
physics.SS Condensed Matter and AMO
physics.NN Nuclear Physics,
each divided into categories. For astrophysics, the categories are Cosmology, Galaxies, Stars and finally Earth and Planetary Physics, as well as the amalgamate Instrumentation and Data Analysis.
I personally think that these changes are excellent. (To my particular delight, the cosmology part in gr-qc has also been removed, leaving it to cover "general relativity and related theories, numerical and experimental results, black holes, gravity waves, quantum gravity, quantum field theory in curved space-time".)
