Rules:

PLEASE FOLLOW THE AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND DO NOT CHANGE THE MACROS OR ADD IN YOUR OWN DEFINITIONS OR LATEX PACKAGES (INCLUDING OLD ASP PACKAGES), ANY CHANGES WILL BE IGNORED WHEN COMPILING THE VOLUME!

Space management tools such as ?space commands will be removed, please don't use them.

Figures must be in .eps format with a resolution > 266 ppi (pixels per inch). Bear in mind that line diagrams must be of a suitably higher resolution (e.g., 800 ppi) to avoid pixelation.

Figures will appear in black & white, make sure to describe them appropriately in your captions.

Please use plotone or plottwo unless plotfiddle is absolutely necessary.

For those unfamiliar with BibTeX, the entries in BibTeX format to be included in your *.bib file can be obtained from the ADS.

To compile your article on the command line:

 > latex up2010_template
 > bibtex up2010_template
 > latex up2010_template
 > latex up2010_template
 > dvips -Ppdf up2010_template.dvi
 > ps2pdf14 up2010_template.ps

Do not worry about missing the ncccropmark.sty and watermark.sty files.

You will need to run latex several times to generate the references and figure numbers.
