This is emulateapj.cls, version November 10, 2009 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% `emulateapj' is a LaTeX2e class to emulate the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) page layout. The page length of the resulting document is very close to that in ApJ when Times fonts are used instead of the LaTeX default CM fonts. If a manuscript is prepared for ApJ submission using the standard American Astronomical Society LaTeX macros and the `aastex' style (see instructions for authors on the ApJ web site), the only thing required from the user should be to replace \documentclass{aastex} with \documentclass{emulateapj}, and perhaps resize figures as desired and replace {deluxetable} with {deluxetable*}. Possible minor problems are described below. emulateapj requires revtex4.cls. If you don't have it already, it can be downloaded from http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/ (it's a small package). Other extrnal packages used are latexsym, graphicx, amssymb, longtable, epsf. They should already be present in the modern TeX distributions; if not, download them from www.ctan.org. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% For the latest version check http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~alexey/emulateapj NOTE: ApJ has moved its publishing to IOP and they have slightly changed the formatting. To implement these changes, call emulateapj with the iop option, as in \usepackage[iop]{emulateapj} Other available options: [chicago] - (default) typeset as was done in the University of Chicago Press [twocolumn] - (default) two-column mode [onecolumn] - main text in one-column mode [apj] - typeset as for main journal [apjl] - (default) typeset as for ApJ Letters [tighten] - some adjustments to approximate grid typesetting [numberedappendix] - number appendix sections as A, B, etc [appendixfloats] - use separate numbering for floats within appendix NOTE 2: Starting from version 11/10/2009, emulateapj tries to load revtex4-1 if present on the system. This may cause small changes in typesetting for old documents. If you want full compatibility, please download the last version based on revtex4, http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~alexey/emulateapj/emulateapj-rtx4.cls and bundle it with your TeX source code %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Copyright 2000-2009 Alexey Vikhlinin The first version of this package was written by Maxim Markevitch.
