Message from Division Chair

Despite many centuries of research, physics is still a vast field with numerous specialized disciplines
dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. By integrating knowledge from various
branches, we hope to achieve deeper insights into both known and unknown phenomena. Under
this division, we seek to bring together researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds and
invite them to fundamentally develop a deeper understanding and provide new insights, including,
but not limited to, the following disciplines at the 2026 ANPA conference platform:
• Observational, Computational, and High Energy Astrophysics
• Evolution and Formation of Stars, Galaxies, and Celestial Objects
• Cosmology, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy
• Galactic and Extragalactic Astronomy
• Heliophysics and Planetary Science
• Solar and Magnetospheric Physics
• Space Physics and Aeronomy
• Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences
