Values of the Fundamental
Parameters

2000, Manchester UK
Information re Publication of Proceedings
Editors Anthony Lasenby (Cambridge) and Althea Wilkinson
(Jodrell Bank)
-
The Symposium proceedings will be published by the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific
-
All invited talks, contributed talks and posters will
be published
-
The page lengths for each of these categories will be
10 pages (invited talk), 4 pages (contributed) and 2 pages (poster)
-
Please use Latex if possible, but if not, other formats
will be acceptable (please contact us)
-
Instructions on format are available in the
following file: newpaspman.ps
-
For the Latex style file right click on the following:
newpasp.sty
-
For an example Latex source file (which also
produced the above instructions) right click on the following:

-
Deadline for receipt of manuscripts is October
31st 2000
-
Please send to Althea Wilkinson at aw@jb.man.ac.uk
-
The volume is being assembled electronically, so
submissions should be in electronic form rather than actual
manuscripts. The preferred method for incorporating figures is as
encapsulated postscript files using epsfig. Again, please let us
know if this poses any difficulties.
-
Figures will be printed in black and white. If colour figures
are required, please contact us and we can let you know what
will be charged by PASP.
-
When making the electronic submission (and assuming Latex and
epsfig have been used), please send the files using the
following naming conventions:
Assuming the last name of the first author is XYX, the files
should be XYX.tex (Latex source file) XYZ_1.eps (Figure 1),
XYZ_2.eps (Figure 2), etc.
This Symposium is part of the IAU General Assembly
taking place in Manchester in August 2000. You are
warmly invited to attend this meeting. For details of what
to do if you wish to attend please see the IAU site
attendance and registration
(If you need to contact us about the programme, please note the
designated contact person for IAU 201 is Prof. Rod Davies at Jodrell
Bank (rdd@jb.man.ac.uk)
and the Chair of the Scientific Organising
Committee is Anthony Lasenby at Cambridge
(a.n.lasenby@mrao.cam.ac.uk).)
New Information (as sent out in final
mailing)
- The meeting will be taking place in the Opera Hall of the Royal
Northern College of Music (RNCM) and the posters displayed in
an adjoining room, the Lord Rhodes room. The package you
received from WEM should have a map showing the campus at the
University of Manchester. For those without a copy of this map
here is:
The Whitworth Hall is located roughly in the middle
of the campus map and the Royal Northern College of Music is at the
top of it.
- Posters can be put up from 9am on the morning of Monday 7th
August.
- The physical space available for each poster is 90 x 90 cm.
- The posters can remain up until the afternoon of Friday 11th
August, i.e. during the whole meeting. (A possible changeover
day on Wednesday 9th is not planned now.)
- The final version of the programme for the meeting is below on
this page. Any
last minute adjustments to the programme will be posted on a
board for Commissions and Symposium announcements in the central
GA venue and also directly outside the IAU 201 meeting hall.
- Finally, for those who still have registration or accommodation
details to sort out, although pre-registration finished on July
14th, it is still possible to contact hotels directly yourself
(see e.g. here
which has links to each hotel) and registration arrangements
can be made at the on-site registration desk which opens
Saturday 5th August.
Looking forward to a very enjoyable and productive meeting, and to
seeing you in Manchester soon!
A list of all the poster, contributed and invited
papers to be given at the meeting is now available at
Abstracts Page
This also contains
postscript versions of the abstracts for most of the papers.
