258 Presenter Information (Last updated 23 September 2008)
The IAU requires that the presentations at a symposium they sponsor be published within six months as a proceedings of the conference. Proceedings of IAU symposia are published by Cambridge University Press (CUP). In order to meet the six-month deadline, CUP must receive a completely-edited set of manuscripts within three months, and, to meet that deadline, the editors of the proceedings for IAU Symposium 258 must receive complete manuscripts from authors no later than November 15, 2008.
In order to stay under the maximum permissible number of pages in a volume,
we must limit the number of pages used by each author. This is done in relation
to the total amount of time in the schedule allocated to you:
If your talk is for 15 minutes total, your page allocation is 6.
If your talk is for 25 minutes total, your page allocation is 8.
If your talk is for 30 minutes total, your page allocation is 10.
If your talk is for 35 minutes total, your page allocation is 10.
We encourage you to bring your completed manuscript with you to
Baltimore in order to meet the November 15 deadline. Papers are
prepared for publication using LaTeX, and the rules are similar to,
but not identical to, those used by the major journals. Please be
sure to use the correct style files. To send your file via e-mail, address it to:
