How to get the ApJ look of your paper

2/9/03: MAJOR CHANGE: Emulateapj is completely rewritten. This version adds the use of single-column floats (figures, tables and footnotes) in the two-column mode. All standard LaTeX/AASTeX environments such as {figure}, {table}, {figure*}, {table*} and {deluxetable} (and {deluxetable*} added here) should work as expected. Enjoy.

Download emulateapj.cls and use it instead of aastex.cls.

\documentclass{emulateapj}
or
\documentclass[onecolumn]{emulateapj}
(see header for other options)

Emulateapj uses revtex4.cls, download it also if you don't have it already.

The old versions of this package are emulateapj5.sty (package to be used with aastex.cls) and emulateapj.sty (package to be used with article class).

The user needs to use \documentclass{aastex} and then \usepackage{emulateapj5}.

The apjfonts.sty can be used for Times typefaces. It works under old latex 2.09 and new LaTeX 2e.

Some TeX installations (e.g. teTeX) will find all the font files used by apjfonts.sty. If, however, your LaTeX/dvips complains about not finding some fonts, you will have to install them: download apjfonts.tar.gz, unpack and read INSTALL.
