   Example: Danov-p1.doc (the main text), Danov-p1-tables.doc, ..., Danov-p1-figN.xxx (N is the sequence number of the figure), Danov-p1-figure-captions.doc
   Notes:
   • All tables should be grouped into a single WORD document.
   • All figure files must be compatible with WIN Word.
2. Prepare any part (text, figures and tables) of your manuscript according to the instructions below.

Manuscript preparation

• Manuscripts must be written in good English and should be typed in single-line spacing.
• SI units should be used throughout except where non-SI units are more common [e.g. litre (l) for volume].
• For indents, do not use the space or tabs bars.
• Use the Equation Editor of your word processing program or MathType for equations.
• Abbreviations should be defined at first mention in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter.
• Try to avoid the use of footnotes to the text.

   • Acknowledgements These should be as brief as possible. Any grant that requires acknowledgement should be mentioned. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
   • References to journal articles, articles in proceedings, books, and technical reports should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, following the IAU style (see examples below and the IAU Style Book). All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and all references listed in the reference list must be cited in the text.
     • In the text references are given as Brown (1998), Brown and Jones (1998), Brown, Jones, and Smith (1998), or Brown et al. (1998) if there are more than 3 authors. In a group of references, arrange them according to the year, and use semicolons: (Brown, 1990; Jones and Smith, 1993; Smith, 1999).
     • References at the end of the paper should be listed in alphabetical order.
       1. For articles in journals: Examples:
          Kahler, S.W.: 1982, Astrophys. J. 261, 710.
          Oliver, R. and Ballester, J.L.: 1995, Solar Phys. 156, 145.
          Demoulin, P., Bagala, L.G., Mandrini, C.H., Henoux, J.C., and Rovira, M.G.: 1997, Astron. Astrophys. 325, 305.
          If available, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the cited literature should be added at the end of the reference in question.
       2. For articles in proceedings: Example:
          Hoeksema, J.T.: 1995, in R.G. Marsden (ed.), The High-Latitude Heliosphere, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, Holland, p. 137.
       3. For books: Example:
          Tandberg-Hanssen, E. and Emslie, A.G.: 1988, The Physics of Solar Flares, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, p. 145.

1. Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. They should have a headline describing the contents of the table.
2. Tables must be prepared with a text editor (eg Word).
3. Each table can not be wider than 17 cm at font size 9pt in each cell.
4. The height of each table should not exceed 23 cm

1. Figures must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals.
2. Figure name must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the figures and must be prepared with a text editor (eg Word). Please do not include the figure legend in the figure.
3. Size of figures: The figures, should either match the column width (85mm) or the print area of 175x200mm. In case reduction is absolutely necessary, please state the alternative scale desired. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations.
   Advice: Include the figure in WORD-document and make sure it is clearly legible after being scaled to the size specified above.
4. Color figures: The online edition comes out in full color, the print edition in greyscale, so send us color figures.
   Advice: Check how your color figures will look when converted to greyscale.

Before printing each article will be formed in two columns. If you wish to see how it would look when printed, look at something already printed (click free Articles).
