re: IAU HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY, Volume 15, of the XXVIIth IAU GENERAL ASSEMBLY, RIO de JANEIRO, Brazil Editor-in-Chief: Ian F Corbett, IAU General Secretary To the AUTHORS of scientific papers to be presented at the JOINT DISCUSSIONS or the SPECIAL SESSIONS of GA-2009 =============================================================== GUIDELINES AND CUP STYLE FILE FOR THE AUTHORS OF PAPERS TO BE PRESENTED AT IAU GA-2009 IN JOINT DISCUSSIONS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS homepage and updates will be available on the IAU web site at . Dear AUTHOR, Welcome to the AUTHOR's directory for your manuscript(s), to be published in the Highlights of Astronomy Volume 15, i.e., the Proceedings of the Invited Discourses, Joint Discussions and Special Sessions to be presented and held at the XXVIIth IAU General Assembly, Rio de Janeiro, August 2009. The URL of GA-2009 is < http://www.astronomy2009.com.br/ > . Those Proceedings will be published as: HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY, Volume 15 Editor-in-Chief: Ian F Corbett Publisher: Cambridge University Press (CUP, UK) in a concerted effort with the 16 Chief Editors of the GA-2009 Joint Discussions and 9 Chief Editors of the GA-2009 Special Sessions. Together those Chief Editors constitute the HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY EDITORIAL BOARD, as listed in . The name and contact details of the CHIEF EDITOR of your particular Joint Discussion or Special Session is to be found at the end of this README.txt file. ================================================================= A. THE IAU PUBLISHER ================================================================= The official IAU publisher is Cambridge University Press (CUP). CUP publishes the Proceedings of - IAU SYMPOSIA - IAU HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY - TRANSACTIONS OF THE IAU as hard back volumes and on-line. The IAU continues to aim for a high quality and timely Proceedings series. Published on-line IAU Proceedings are available at < http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=IAU >, with free access for IAU Proceedings after 18 months. Hard back volumes can be ordered from < http://www.cambridge.org/uk/browse/browse_all.asp?subjectid=318 >. ================================================================= B. IAU-CUP POLICY / DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER ================================================================= In the contract between the IAU and CUP, it is stipulated that the Proceedings of IAU meetings will be published within six months after the event. Since CUP needs three months for its processing of a complete Proceedings manuscript, the EDITORS and the GENERAL SECRETARY have the first three months after the Joint Discussions and Special Sessions to complete their editing task. This requires that all AUTHORS have to deliver their completed manuscript(s) to the CHIEF EDITOR of the relevant Joint Discussion and Special Session, before or during GA-2009. Authors who wish to make revisions can submit a revised version of their manuscript to their CHIEF EDITOR no later than end September 2009, unless an earlier date is demanded by the CHIEF EDITOR. IN SHORT: THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER TO THE CHIEF EDITOR OF YOUR JD OR SpS IS: no later than END SEPTEMBER 2009. ================================================================= C. CONTENTS OF IAU HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY, Volume 15 ================================================================= Preface Ian F Corbett I. INVITED DISCOURSES I.1. The Legacies of Galileo Franco Pacini I.2 Water on Planets James Bell III I.3. Evolution of Structure in the Universe Simon D. M. White I.4 Do Low-Luminosity Stars Matter? Maria Teresa Ruiz II. JOINT DISCUSSIONS and SPECIAL SESSIONS These follow the listing in http://www.astronomy2009.com.br/scientific.html SUBJECT INDEX OBJECT INDEX AUTHOR INDEX ================================================================= D. BULK PRICE ================================================================= The bulk price of the Highlights of Astronomy Volume 15 for GA-2009 participants is 48 pounds sterling (GBP) per volume, covering hard copy (including shipment) and access to the on-line version. To qualify for this price, the volume has to be ordered and pre-paid at Registration via the special CUP form. On-line access from CUP is for 18 months, after which the contents of Highlights of Astronomy Volume 15 will be transferred to the ADS. ================================================================= E. PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT: AUTHORS's STYLE FILE ================================================================= This directory provides - the style file , and - a sample files <3-sample.tex> to create for your manuscript. Updates will be made available as necessary. It is not allowed to change font sizes and layout. The IAU wishes to have a fixed appearance of its Proceedings. For figures, authors are free to include their preferred packages (e.g., .epsf). ================================================================= F. PAGE ALLOCATION PER PAPER ================================================================= For the maximum number of pages of your manuscript, please contact the CHIEF EDITOR of your Joint Discussion or Special Session. ================================================================= G. FIGURES ================================================================= The package "graphics" does allow for figure re-scaling, but authors may find it easier to replace \usepackage{graphics} with \usepackage{graphicx}. Re-scaling in "graphics" can be done: The trick is to use \scalebox{scale_frac}{put_figure_here}, e.g. \centerline{ \scalebox{0.8}{% \includegraphics{my_fig.eps}% } } which shrinks my_fig.eps to 0.8 of its size, and centre it. This is instead of the expected, more normal, scalebox usage of \scalebox{x_frac}{y_frac}{put_fig_here}, which does not work. Another possibility to scale the figures, while using \usepackage{graphics}, is: \begin{figure} \centering \resizebox{6.5cm}{!}{\includegraphics{figure1.eps} } \resizebox{6.5cm}{!}{\includegraphics{figure2.eps} } \caption[]{Figure caption.} \end{figure} ================================================================= H. COLOUR FIGURES and PHOTOGRAPHS ================================================================= There will be no charge for colour figures embedded in the LaTeX files of papers. Colour figures will be reproduced in colour in the electronic version of the Proceedings. However, to reproduce colour figures in colour in the printed version of the Highlights is an expensive process and CUP will charge the authors 500.- pounds sterling (GBP) per colour page. If authors are not prepared to pay for this, their colour figures will be printed in black-and-white in the printed version of the Proceedings. Therefore, in case of colour figures with half-tones, authors should make sure that their figures will reproduce as desired in black-and-white, and there is no reference to colour in either text or captions. Unless directly related to the subject matter of the contribution concerned, only a very limited number of photographs can be included in the Proceedings at the discretion of the Editors. Purely ‘social’ photographs are discouraged. About 4 or 5 photographs showing participants and/or speakers would be appropriate, and the acceptable maximum is 10 pages of black and white photographs, above which a charge of 200 GBP per page may be made. If the number of pages in the Proceedings exceeds 600 (see section G above) this charge will be levied. Colour photographs are subject to the same restrictions as colour figures. ====================================================================== I.
