My (incomplete) notes on Preparing an Astronomy paper

 My notes on preparing an ApJ paper (someone who has never done it before).


Setup latex:

-astrobetter latex wiki: http://www.astrobetter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=LaTex
-latexbibtex tools worth knowing

Then, look here for setting up Bibtex entries.

Then, to get started , here's a good overview from Astrobites.  For ApJ, consult AAS author instructions. 


Some more useful links:

-example paper in style of MNRAS
-UofHawaii Research Techniques Class, with many good links

Micro-X Mission

I am now a fan of the Micro-X mission at MIT that will demonstrate the capabilities of X-ray Micro-calorimeters. I learned about it because Meredith Danowski at BU will be working with the Micro-X team.
