我们提出了天文学论文和其他13个学科之间的引用模式分析，基于过去十年（2010-2020）的arXiv数据库。我们分析了12，600篇天文学论文，引用了超过14，531篇天文学以外的独特出版物。两个惊人的模式被解开。首先，广义相对论最近成为天文学家引用最多的领域，这一趋势与引力波的发现高度相关。其次，计算机科学和统计学领域的参考论文快速增长，自2015年以来首次出现了15倍的显著增长。这些发现证实了涉及天文学，统计学和计算机科学的跨学科努力在最近的天文学研究中的关键作用。
We present a citation pattern analysis between astronomical papers and 13 other disciplines, based on the arXiv database over the past decade (2010–2020). We analyze 12,600 astronomical papers citing over 14,531 unique publications outside astronomy. Two striking patterns are unraveled. First, general relativity recently became the most cited field by astronomers, a trend highly correlated with the discovery of gravitational waves. Second, the fast growth of referenced papers in computer science and statistics, the first with a notable 15 fold increase since 2015. Such findings confirm the critical role of interdisciplinary efforts involving astronomy, statistics, and computer science in recent astronomical research.
