As stated in the NewAthena Science Community membership announcement, there will be a Special Issue on the mission science to be published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
The NewAthena Science Study Team and the Athena Community Office invite the whole science community worldwide to fill this form to propose papers for that Special Issue, with a deadline on 30th of September 2025. The selected papers will be announced in November 2025, and will have to be ready (with a maximum length of ~6 pages) by mid 2026.
