NASA Astrophysics Data System
Discovery · Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, under a NASA cooperative agreement
- Details checked
- Access confirmed
The literature database astronomers use day to day, indexing papers, preprints, citations and data links.
Before you rely on itSearching is free and needs no account, but full text comes from arXiv or the publisher, and publisher copies are frequently paywalled.
Better than a general search engine for tracing who cited whom in physics and astronomy.Telebem editors
