LaTeX: AAS Paper Format Instructions and Templates for LaTeX Users.zip

The AAS conferences publish bound sets of printed proceedings for personal, institutional, and library usage. To preserve consistency in the final printed proceedings, all authors adhere to the AAS conference proceedings format. Papers that do not generally conform to the conference proceedings format are omitted from the final proceedings unless a waiver is recommended from your session chair and accepted by the technical editors and conference chairmen.

Members of the AAS have drafted the above electronic templates for MSWord and LaTex users. We recommend that you refer to and use these templates to accurately submit your conference paper.



March 3, 2010: The LaTex files were updated. This update corrects a problem that may have been introduced with the previous update.
Please re-download the LaTex files if you downloaded them prior to this date. Thank you.

February 25, 2010: The LaTex files were updated. The AAS.cls style was updated so that the spacing to the page number and title are more consistent with the MSWord version and the original publisher's specifications.
Please re-download the LaTex files if you downloaded them prior to this date. Thank you.

October 15, 2009: The LaTex files were updated to correct two minor issues:
1) The AAS.cls style was updated to correctly add a period (".") after the figure label caption whenever the caption extends across multiple lines.
2) Duplicated files were removed from the Figures folder.
Please re-download the LaTex files if you downloaded them prior to this date. Thank you.

June 15, 2009: The LaTex style file was updated so the user can add or remove the keyword "Preprint" to the top of the preprint paper. Please re-download this file if you downloaded it prior to this date. Thank you.

October 27, 2008: Minor corrections have been made to the LaTeX file. Please re-dowload it if you downloaded it prior to this date. Thank you.
