Astronomy and Astrophysics were first treated in volume III of the 6th edition of Landolt-Börnstein in 1952, then in volumes VI/1 and VI/2 of the New Series, 1965 and 1981/82 respectively. The present volume VI/3 is a further supplementation of volume VI/1. The decimal classification scheme of the first supplement volumes, VI/2, has been maintained, fields without significant new developments are clearly indicated. A synoptic list of contents over all three volumes provides an excellent overview for the user as well as a Comprehensive Index in the forthcoming last subvolume of VI/3.

From the contents: Interstellar matter.- Phenomena of the generally distributed medium. Cool interstellar clouds. HII regions. Physics of interstellar dust. Physics of the interstellar gas. Cosmic rays.- Interstellar magnetic field. Our galaxy.- Positions, motions, parallaxes of stars. The nearest stars. Structure of the Galaxy. Kinematics and dynamics. Galaxies and the universe.- General information and integral properties of galaxies. Internal structure and dynamics of galaxies. Galaxies with special peculiarities; pairs, groups and clusters of galaxies. Evolution of galaxies. Quasars and active galactic nuclei. Extragalactic radio sources. Cosmology.
