Which is the current version of the AASTeX package?
The current version of the package is AASTeX v6.3 but v6.0, v6.1, and v6.2 are still available. The distribution contains the AASTeX class file, documentation, and sample files.
Are there extra symbols for AASTeX in AAS Journals?
In addition, AASTeX already has defined commands for all the major astronomical journals so authors should refrain from using their own as it generally leads to conflict errors during compilation. Extra symbols are defined for AASTeX, some specifically for an astronomical context, others more broadly used in math and physics.
AASTeX allows authors to define their own commands with LaTeX’s ewcommand. (Authors should not use the plain TeX \\defcommand in AAS journal submissions.) Authors’ ewcommanddefinitions must be placed in the document preamble.
How to write an AASTeX v6.3.1 article markup?
AASTeX v6.3.1 Article Markup This section describes the commands in the AASTeX v6.3.1 package that an author might enter in a manuscript that is being prepared for electronic submission. The commands will be described in roughly the same order as they would appear in a manuscript.
It is the author’s responsibility to maintain title case within the itle command. The \\author command is used to specify an individual author. Authors’ names should be entered in mixed case. Authors can use the LaTeX CJK macro package to include Chinese, Japanese and Korean language support with their names.
Which is the AASTeX classfile for manuscript preparation?
General information on preparation of manuscripts using the AASTeX v6.3 classfile can be found in the AASTeX Author Guide. The guide for v6.0 can be found here.
Where can I find extra symbols for AASTeX?
Extra symbols are defined for AASTeX, some specifically for an astronomical context, others more broadly used in math and physics. In particular, the AMS has additional symbol fonts that are available in a standard LaTeX package (amssymb).
