Cool :).

The html version is here:
http://www.edpsciences.org/papers/aa/full/2005/37/aa441100f/aa441100f.html

The idea is nice: structured abstracts. i've installed aa.cls version 6.0
on adjani. Or you can download from ftp://ftp.edpsciences.org/pub/aa/readme.html

The A&A structured abstracts will be phased in on a voluntary basis
during one year, and then there'll be a review to decide whether to make
it obligatory.

* astro-ph  will be renamed to a "super-section" of physics, it will become
physics.AA

* there'll be four sections/categories, of which probably two are
  interesting to us:

physics.AC = cosmology
physics.AG = galaxies including AGNs

* It's not stated on the page, but i assume that backwards
compatibility will be retained, i.e. aliases will exist so that links
to ".../astro-ph/ " will still work.


i guess that the stellar people who don't like astro-ph might be even
more discouraged from using it if they have to accept (by this new
naming structure) that stellar astronomy is a subset of physics :P.
