Abstract
This book was created as part of the SIRIUS B VERGE program to orient
students to astrophysics as a broad field. The 2023-2024 VERGE program and the
printing of this book is funded by the Women and Girls in Astronomy Program via
the International Astronomical Union's North American Regional Office of
Astronomy for Development and the Heising-Simons Foundation; as a result, this
document is written by women in astronomy for girls who are looking to pursue
the field. However, given its universal nature, the material covered in this
guide is useful for anyone interested in pursuing astrophysics professionally.
