+
+
+`emulateapj' is a LaTeX (209 or 2e) style to approximate the Astrophysical
+Journal (ApJ) page look. The page length of the document is close to that
+in ApJ if postscript Times fonts are used instead of the standard CM fonts
+(see below). `emulateapj' requires the `multicol' package available from
+CTAN archives.
+
+The file emulateapj.sty is a modification of the AAS (American Astronomical
+Society) preprint style aaspp4.sty, including pieces of the plain TeX
+apjformat* by someone BLW. If a manuscript is prepared using the standard
+AAS macros used for electronic manuscript submission, the only thing
+required from the user is to replace the style `aaspp4' with `emulateapj' in
+the first line of the document. We tried not to touch any of the nonobvious
+aaspp4 functionality to save trouble for users, so large parts of the code
+are probably useless, of which we did not care.
+
+Because `multicol' package cannot deal with floats of the width of the
+single column, footnotes, figures, tables etc. can only be set across two
+columns (that is, use `figure*' environment instead of `figure'.)
+Alternatively, insert figures as non-floats in the exact place of the text
+by hand.
+
+There is a command \submitted{your text} to replace the default text in the
+upper left corner of the front page ("Draft version \today") with `your
+text'. Use it before the title commands.
+
+There is a package option `onecolumn' (available only in LaTeX2e),
+\usepackage[onecolumn]{emulateapj}, which sets the whole paper in one column
+mode as is done by the ApJ for papers with lengthy equations. Even if the
+document is `onecolumn', `thebibliography' or `references' are typeset in
+two columns.
+
+For users of `deluxetable': in LaTeX2e, the table font size is not reduced
+by putting fontsize commands inside \begin{deluxetable} and
+\end{deluxtable}. To reduce the font size, \tablefontsize command is
+defined. To use, put e.g., \tablefontsize{\footnotesize} after
+\begin{deluxetable}.
+
+
+The latest version of emulateapj.sty is also available from
+http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~alexey/emulateapj/
+To use Times postscript fonts, also use the accompanying file apjfonts.sty
+(at the site above, there is also a package of font files if necessary).
