+Introduction
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ is a set of macros produced by the American Astronomical Society to
+ facilitate electronic manuscript submission to the three journals they
+ publish: the Astrophysical Journal (including the Letters and Supplement),
+ the Astronomical Journal, and the Publications of the Astronomical Society
+ of the Pacific.
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+ has proven to be an excellent tool for generating these documents, especially
+ given its equation, citation, and figure handling capabilities.
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+ requires version 5.0 (or higher) of these macros; preferably 6.0, which
+ is the version described here, or higher.
+ Versions prior to 5.0 are intended for use with \SpecialChar LaTeX
+2.09 and are fundamentally
+ incompatible with \SpecialChar LyX
+.
+ The AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ package may be downloaded from the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ Web site

+\begin_layout Standard
+A complete user guide is contained in that package and you should familiarize
+ yourself with it thoroughly before embarking on writing a paper in
\SpecialChar LyX
+.
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+ will not reduce the need to figure out all the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ commands, it will only
+ reduce the drudgery of typing everything in.
+ It is your responsibility to ensure that the final exported \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ document conforms
+ completely to the requirements of the journal to which you are submitting
+ your paper.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Starting a New Paper
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+I strongly suggest that you start with the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ template file.
+ Click on
+\family sans
+File\SpecialChar menuseparator
+New from
+\family default
+
+\family sans
+Template
+\family default
+, enter the new file name, then choose the
+\family typewriter
+aastex6.lyx
+\family default
+ template.
+ This will show the most common fields found in a manuscript.
+ Simply overwrite the existing text (including the brackets,
+\family typewriter
+<>
+\family default
+) with the correct information.
+ Many of the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ commands and environments can be implemented directly in
+ \SpecialChar LyX
+, but some cannot.
+ For commands such as these, the \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ code must be entered directly and marked
+ as such.
+ Such commands are referred to as \SpecialChar TeX
+ code, or Evil Red Text.
+ I tried to minimize the amount of \SpecialChar TeX
+ code needed in an AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ document.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Finishing Your Paper
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+When the paper is finished to your satisfaction and previews/prints correctly,
+ there are a few
+\begin_inset Quotes eld

+\end_inset
+
+ actions which need to be done before you submit it to the journals.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Export your paper as a \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ file (
+\family sans
+File\SpecialChar menuseparator
+Export\SpecialChar menuseparator

+Comments On Specific Commands
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+I will not describe the detailed usage of the individual AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ commands: the
+ AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ User Guide (
+\family typewriter
+aasguide.tex
+\family default
+) gives a good description of each.
+ Thus it's probably easiest for me to go down the list as found in the guide
+ and offer comments where necessary.
+ So let's begin \SpecialChar ldots

+FAQs, Tips, Tricks, and Other Ruminations
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Paragraph
+Getting \SpecialChar LyX
+ and AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ to cooperate
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+It can be a bit tricky to get \SpecialChar LyX
+ to recognize a new layout and document class.
+ When all else fails, do this:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Make certain that \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ can find AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+.
+ Copy sample.tex (and perhaps table.tex) from the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ distribution into a
+ directory completely unrelated to \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ or AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ and run \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ on
+\family typewriter
+sample.tex
+\family default
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Make certain that
+\family typewriter
+aastex.layout
+\family default
+ appears in \SpecialChar LyX
+'s
+\family typewriter
+layouts
+\family default
+ folder
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Rerun
+\family sans
+Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
+Reconfigure
+\family default
+ in \SpecialChar LyX
+, then restart \SpecialChar LyX
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Open a regular new file, not from a template.
+ Does AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ appear in the class list in
+\family sans
+Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
+Settings
+\family default
+?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If you get a warning from an existing AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ document about not being able
+ to find the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ layout or a message about
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+You should not mix title layouts with normal ones
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+, things haven't been installed correctly.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Paragraph
+\SpecialChar LaTeX
+ error processing a table
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\SpecialChar LyX
+, by default, attempts to center the table caption/title.
+ This seems to produce a bad interaction in AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ so you should click somewhere
+ in the caption/title, then select
+\family sans
+Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
+Paragraph
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+Settings
+\family default
+, then set the
+\family sans
+Alignment
+\family default
+ to
+\family sans
+Block
+\family default
+.
+ This took care of it for me.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Paragraph
+References
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A couple of things: 1) I have noticed some funny spacing in the reference
+ entries in the text.
+ When you enter the bibliography item data, make sure their is
+\emph on
+no
+\emph default
+ space between the last author and the parenthesis setting off the year;
+
+\emph on
+e.
+\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
+\end_inset
+
+g.
+\begin_inset space \space{}
+\end_inset
+
+
+\emph default
+type
+\family typewriter
+Ressler(1992)
+\family default
+, not
+\family typewriter
+Ressler (1992)
+\family default
+.
+ 2) Entering the references at all is not obvious.
+ The easiest thing is to start typing your first reference at the end of
+ the document, then mark it as type
+\family sans
+References
+\family default
+.
+ That will put a small gray box in front of what you just typed.
+ Click on the box to fill in the rest of the information.
+ For new references, go to the end of an existing reference and press return.
+ That will create a new line with its own box, etc.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Paragraph
+Including EPS files
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Even though AAS\SpecialChar TeX
+ provides its own figure commands (
+\family typewriter
+
+\backslash
+plotone
+\family default
+, for example), I much prefer \SpecialChar LaTeX
+'s standard figure commands (with the default
+ graphicx).
+ You can insert the
+\family typewriter
+
+\backslash
+plotone
+\family default
+, etc.
+\begin_inset space ~
+\end_inset
+
+commands as \SpecialChar TeX
+ code into a Figure Float box if you desire, but I never have
+ much luck getting the layout right.
+ With the standard graphics, \SpecialChar LyX
+ will insert a
+\family typewriter
+
+\backslash
+usepackage{graphicx}
+\family default
+ command into the \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ preamble and handle the figures in the standard \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
+ way,
+ interspersing the figures in the text.
+ I believe ApJ accepts figures exactly this way now; AJ might still use
+ the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+stack everything at the end
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ technique.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Paragraph
+Things I could have done, but didn't
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+There are a few
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+pretty
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ things I could have implemented, but chose not to.
+ For instance, I saw no point in double-spacing the text in the \SpecialChar
LyX
+ window,
+ even though it is double-spaced in the paper manuscript.
+ Also, I chose not to make separate layouts for the preprint and preprint2
+ styles.
+ Since I assume you will spend most of your time in the plain manuscript
+ mode anyway, I decided not to chew up more disk space with this.
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
+Final Caveat
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Your mileage may vary.
+ I've now had papers published by both ApJ and AJ that have had 98% of the
+ effort done in \SpecialChar LyX
+; the last 2% was the \SpecialChar LaTeX
+ post-processing and a few cleanups.
+ I have had no trouble with the submission process, and I'm sure the journals
+ were never aware that there might be a difference.
+ So, go forth and publish!

-FAQs, Tips, Tricks, and Other Ruminations
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsubsection
-Getting \SpecialChar LyX
- and AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- to cooperate
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-It can be a bit tricky to get \SpecialChar LyX
- to recognize a new layout and document class.
- When all else fails, do this:
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Make certain that \SpecialChar LaTeX
- can find AAS\SpecialChar TeX
-.
- Copy sample.tex (and perhaps table.tex) from the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- distribution into a
- directory completely unrelated to \SpecialChar LaTeX
- or AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- and run \SpecialChar LaTeX
- on
-\family typewriter
-sample.tex
-\family default
-.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Make certain that
-\family typewriter
-aastex.layout
-\family default
- appears in \SpecialChar LyX
-'s
-\family typewriter
-layouts
-\family default
- folder
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Rerun
-\family sans
-Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator
-Reconfigure
-\family default
- in \SpecialChar LyX
-, then restart \SpecialChar LyX
-.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Enumerate
-Open a regular new file, not from a template.
- Does AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- appear in the class list in
-\family sans
-Document\SpecialChar menuseparator
-Settings
-\family default
-?
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-If you get a warning from an existing AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- document about not being able
- to find the AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- layout or a message about
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-You should not mix title layouts with normal ones
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
-, things haven't been installed correctly.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsubsection
-\SpecialChar LaTeX
- error processing a table
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-\SpecialChar LyX
-, by default, attempts to center the table caption/title.
- This seems to produce a bad interaction in AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- so you should click somewhere
- in the caption/title, then select
-\family sans
-Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator
-Paragraph
-\begin_inset space ~
-\end_inset
-
-Settings
-\family default
-, then set the
-\family sans
-Alignment
-\family default
- to
-\family sans
-Block
-\family default
-.
- This took care of it for me.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsubsection
-References
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-A couple of things: 1) I have noticed some funny spacing in the reference
- entries in the text.
- When you enter the bibliography item data, make sure their is
-\emph on
-no
-\emph default
- space between the last author and the parenthesis setting off the year;
-
-\emph on
-e.
-\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
-\end_inset
-
-g.
-\begin_inset space \space{}
-\end_inset
-
-
-\emph default
-type
-\family typewriter
-Ressler(1992)
-\family default
-, not
-\family typewriter
-Ressler (1992)
-\family default
-.
- 2) Entering the references at all is not obvious.
- The easiest thing is to start typing your first reference at the end of
- the document, then mark it as type
-\family sans
-References
-\family default
-.
- That will put a small gray box in front of what you just typed.
- Click on the box to fill in the rest of the information.
- For new references, go to the end of an existing reference and press return.
- That will create a new line with its own box, etc.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsubsection
-Including EPS files
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-Even though AAS\SpecialChar TeX
- provides its own figure commands (
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-plotone
-\family default
-, for example), I much prefer \SpecialChar LaTeX
-'s standard figure commands (with the default
- graphicx).
- You can insert the
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-plotone
-\family default
-, etc.
-\begin_inset space ~
-\end_inset
-
-commands as \SpecialChar TeX
- code into a Figure Float box if you desire, but I never have
- much luck getting the layout right.
- With the standard graphics, \SpecialChar LyX
- will insert a
-\family typewriter
-
-\backslash
-usepackage{graphicx}
-\family default
- command into the \SpecialChar LaTeX
- preamble and handle the figures in the standard \SpecialChar LaTeX2e
- way,
- interspersing the figures in the text.
- I believe ApJ accepts figures exactly this way now; AJ might still use
- the
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-stack everything at the end
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
- technique.
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsubsection
-Things I could have done, but didn't
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-There are a few
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-pretty
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
- things I could have implemented, but chose not to.
- For instance, I saw no point in double-spacing the text in the \SpecialChar
LyX
- window,
- even though it is double-spaced in the paper manuscript.
- Also, I chose not to make separate layouts for the preprint and preprint2
- styles.
- Since I assume you will spend most of your time in the plain manuscript
- mode anyway, I decided not to chew up more disk space with this.
-
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Subsection
-Final Caveat
-\end_layout
-
-\begin_layout Standard
-Your mileage may vary.
- I've now had papers published by both ApJ and AJ that have had 98% of the
- effort done in \SpecialChar LyX
-; the last 2% was the \SpecialChar LaTeX
- post-processing and a few cleanups.
- I have had no trouble with the submission process, and I'm sure the journals
- were never aware that there might be a difference.
- So, go forth and publish!
