Electronegativity, and in cooperation with the Institute of Physics at the Jagiellonian University issues a journal of international renown, Acta Physica Polonica B.
The Class has initiated the awarding of the Marian Mięsowicz Prize for outstanding achievements in the field of physics. This prize is funded by the Cracow scientific institutes involved with physics; the first prize winner was Władysław Wolter in 1997.

This Commission is involved with observational astronomy in the areas of optical electromagnetic radiation of radio waves, infrared, X-rays and gamma rays, detection of loaded particles, and the astronomy of neutrinos. The Commission's interests also extend into the sphere of such fields of physics as the theory of relativity, atomic and molecular optics, nuclear physics, the physics of elementary particles, and the theory of phase transitions.
One of the goals of the Commission's activities is to organize conferences. The first, in June of 1996, was devoted to solar astrophysics, neutron stars, and gamma flashes. The conference materials, published in English with funding from the PAU, bear the title Solar Astrophysics, Structure of Neutron Stars, Gamma Flashes.
The Commission undertakes publication initiatives, whose goal is to provide the Polish market with up-to-date textbooks and monographs. Work has begun on translating into Polish a modern textbook devoted to the structure of the Sun and the stars.
The Commission actively supports educational initiatives associated with astrophysics. Among such initiatives was a master's level area studies program in astrophysics at the Jagiellonian University, established in 1997.
