+This is emulateapj.cls, version November 10, 2009
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+`emulateapj' is a LaTeX2e class to emulate the Astrophysical Journal
+(ApJ) page layout. The page length of the resulting document is very
+close to that in ApJ when Times fonts are used instead of the LaTeX
+default CM fonts.
+
+If a manuscript is prepared for ApJ submission using the standard
+American Astronomical Society LaTeX macros and the `aastex' style
+(see instructions for authors on the ApJ web site), the only thing
+required from the user should be to replace \documentclass{aastex}
+with \documentclass{emulateapj}, and perhaps resize figures as
+desired and replace {deluxetable} with {deluxetable*}. Possible minor
+problems are described below.
+
+emulateapj requires revtex4.cls. If you don't have it already, it can be
+downloaded from http://publish.aps.org/revtex4/ (it's a small package).
+Other extrnal packages used are latexsym, graphicx, amssymb, longtable,
+epsf. They should already be present in the modern TeX distributions; if
+not, download them from www.ctan.org.
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+For the latest version check http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~alexey/emulateapj
+
+NOTE: ApJ has moved its publishing to IOP and they have slightly changed
+the formatting. To implement these changes, call emulateapj with the iop
+option, as in
+\usepackage[iop]{emulateapj}
+
+Other available options:
+
+[chicago] - (default) typeset as was done in the University of Chicago Press
+[twocolumn] - (default) two-column mode
+[onecolumn] - main text in one-column mode
+[apj] - typeset as for main journal
+[apjl] - (default) typeset as for ApJ Letters
+[tighten] - some adjustments to approximate grid typesetting
+[numberedappendix] - number appendix sections as A, B, etc
+[appendixfloats] - use separate numbering for floats within appendix
+[appendixfloats] - use separate numbering for floats within appendix
+[twocolappendix] - make appendix in two-col mode in a two-col paper
+[revtex4] - force using revtex4
+
+NOTE 2: Starting from version 11/10/2009, emulateapj tries to load
+revtex4-1 if present on the system. This may cause small changes in
+typesetting for old documents. If you want full compatibility, please
+download the last version based on revtex4,
+http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~alexey/emulateapj/emulateapj-rtx4.cls
+and bundle it with your TeX source code
