Proceedings
The IAUS 249 Proceedings will be made available electronically and in book form.

For the Proceedings, papers have to be prepared using the style-files provided by the IAU Publisher: Cambridge University Press (CUP). Style files and Instructions for Authors can be found at: ftp://ftp.sron.nl/pub/karelh/UPLOADS/IAU-CUP.dir/authors.dir. Detailed instructions are in the README.txt file.

If you have problems with the URL listed above, you can also download from this website the needed files as below:

The contract with CUP stipulates that Proceedings will be published six months after the Symposium. CUP needs three months for the production process, leaving the three months right after the Symposium for the Editors to complete their task. This implies that  all authors have to email the manuscripts to proceedings editors within a month after the end of the Symposium. Please note the deadline for submitting your manuscripts will be 23 November, 2007.

Please submit your manuscript for refereeing by email to iaus249@nju.edu.cn. At this moment, we need only ONE read-able file (pdf or ps) containing both the text and all figures. Make sure your file is smaller than 5MB. If you need to contain large files (e.g. large pictures of very-high-resolution) in your paper, please find an accessible place by yourself and cite the URL in your manuscript.

About the color figures: When authors have colour figures in the .tex files of their papers, there will be no charge for that. Colour figures will be reproduced in colour in the electronic version of the Proceedings. However, to reproduce colour figures up in colour in the printed version of the Proceedings, CUP will charge the authors Eng. Pound 500.- per page. If authors are not prepared to pay for this, their colour figures will be printed in black-and-white in the printed version of the Proceedings. Therefore, in case of colour figures with half-tones, authors should make sure that their figures will reproduce as desired in black-and-white.
