出版了天文學、天體物理學以及與其密切相關的領域的研究論文。從1949到1985的基礎上，PASJ每季度出版一次。從1986年開始，Pasj每兩個月出版一次。除了一般的論文外，我們還接受《致編者的信》，這是為了快速地交流觀測和理論結果，對天文學有很大的影響。信件應在四頁印刷紙內。

PASJ publishes research papers on all aspects of astronomy, astrophysics, and fields closely related to them. From its foundation in 1949 till 1985, PASJ was published quarterly. From 1986, PASJ has been published bimonthly. In addition to normal papers, we accept 'Letters to the Editor', which aim at quick communication of observational as well as theoretical results having strong impact on astronomy. The Letters should be within four printed pages.
