ADS Abstract Service is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 11.5 million records covering publications in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and the arXiv e-prints. Abstracts and full-text of major astronomy and physics publications are indexed and searchable through the new ADS Labs interface. The NASA database contains abstracts from hundreds of journals, publications, colloquia, symposia, proceedings, and internal NASA reports. Complete coverage can not be guaranteed for any of the sources. For a listing of journals included in the abstract service, see the journal list within ADS Abstract Service. - arXiv.org This link opens in a new windowCoverage: 1991+
