+% mnras_template.tex
+%
+% LaTeX template for creating an MNRAS paper
+%
+% v3.0 released 14 May 2015
+% (version numbers match those of mnras.cls)
+%
+% Copyright (C) Royal Astronomical Society 2015
+% Authors:
+% Keith T. Smith (Royal Astronomical Society)
+
+% Change log
+%
+% v3.0 May 2015
+% Renamed to match the new package name
+% Version number matches mnras.cls
+% A few minor tweaks to wording
+% v1.0 September 2013
+% Beta testing only - never publicly released
+% First version: a simple (ish) template for creating an MNRAS paper
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+% Basic setup. Most papers should leave these options alone.
+\documentclass[a4paper,fleqn,usenatbib]{mnras}
+
+% MNRAS is set in Times font. If you don't have this installed (most LaTeX
+% installations will be fine) or prefer the old Computer Modern fonts, comment
+% out the following line
+\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
+% Depending on your LaTeX fonts installation, you might get better results with one of these:
+%\usepackage{mathptmx}
+%\usepackage{txfonts}
+
+% Use vector fonts, so it zooms properly in on-screen viewing software
+% Don't change these lines unless you know what you are doing
+\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
+\usepackage{ae,aecompl}
+
+
+%%%%% AUTHORS - PLACE YOUR OWN PACKAGES HERE %%%%%
+
+% Only include extra packages if you really need them. Common packages are:
+\usepackage{graphicx} % Including figure files
+\usepackage{amsmath} % Advanced maths commands
+\usepackage{amssymb} % Extra maths symbols
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+%%%%% AUTHORS - PLACE YOUR OWN COMMANDS HERE %%%%%
+
+% Please keep new commands to a minimum, and use \newcommand not \def to avoid
+% overwriting existing commands. Example:
+%\newcommand{\pcm}{\,cm$^{-2}$} % per cm-squared

+% Title of the paper, and the short title which is used in the headers.
+% Keep the title short and informative.

+% Abstract of the paper
+\begin{abstract}
+This is a simple template for authors to write new MNRAS papers.
+The abstract should briefly describe the aims, methods, and main results of the paper.
+It should be a single paragraph not more than 250 words (200 words for Letters).
+No references should appear in the abstract.
+\end{abstract}
+
+% Select between one and six entries from the list of approved keywords.
+% Don't make up new ones.

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% BODY OF PAPER %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+\section{Introduction}
+
+This is a simple template for authors to write new MNRAS papers.
+See \texttt{mnras\_sample.tex} for a more complex example, and \texttt{mnras\_guide.tex}
+for a full user guide.
+
+All papers should start with an Introduction section, which sets the work
+in context, cites relevant earlier studies in the field by \citet{Others2013},
+and describes the problem the authors aim to solve \citep[e.g.][]{Author2012}.
+
+\section{Methods, Observations, Simulations etc.}
+
+Normally the next section describes the techniques the authors used.
+It is frequently split into subsections, such as Section~\ref{sec:maths} below.
+
+\subsection{Maths}
+\label{sec:maths} % used for referring to this section from elsewhere
+
+Simple mathematics can be inserted into the flow of the text e.g. $2\times3=6$
+or $v=220$\,km\,s$^{-1}$, but more complicated expressions should be entered
+as a numbered equation:
+
+\begin{equation}
+ x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.
+ \label{eq:quadratic}
+\end{equation}
+
+Refer back to them as e.g. equation~(\ref{eq:quadratic}).
+
+\subsection{Figures and tables}
+
+Figures and tables should be placed at logical positions in the text. Don't
+worry about the exact layout, which will be handled by the publishers.
+
+Figures are referred to as e.g. Fig.~\ref{fig:example_figure}, and tables as
+e.g. Table~\ref{tab:example_table}.
+
+% Example figure
+\begin{figure}
+ % To include a figure from a file named example.*
+ % Allowable file formats are eps or ps if compiling using latex
+ % or pdf, png, jpg if compiling using pdflatex
+ \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{example}
+ \caption{This is an example figure. Captions appear below each figure.
+ Give enough detail for the reader to understand what they're looking at,
+ but leave detailed discussion to the main body of the text.}
+ \label{fig:example_figure}
+\end{figure}
+
+% Example table
+\begin{table}
+ \centering
+ \caption{This is an example table. Captions appear above each table.
+ Remember to define the quantities, symbols and units used.}
+ \label{tab:example_table}
+ \begin{tabular}{lccr} % four columns, alignment for each
+ \hline
+ A & B & C & D\\
+ \hline
+ 1 & 2 & 3 & 4\\
+ 2 & 4 & 6 & 8\\
+ 3 & 5 & 7 & 9\\
+ \hline
+ \end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+
+\section{Conclusions}
+
+The last numbered section should briefly summarise what has been done, and describe
+the final conclusions which the authors draw from their work.
+
+\section*{Acknowledgements}
+
+The Acknowledgements section is not numbered. Here you can thank helpful
+colleagues, acknowledge funding agencies, telescopes and facilities used etc.
+Try to keep it short.

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% REFERENCES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+% The best way to enter references is to use BibTeX:
+
+%\bibliographystyle{mnras}
+%\bibliography{example} % if your bibtex file is called example.bib
+
+
+% Alternatively you could enter them by hand, like this:
+% This method is tedious and prone to error if you have lots of references
