Users are encouraged to submit their abstracts using the new Web-based form we created. It is available by going to the AAS Homepage, Clicking on Divisions, DDA and then linking to the DDA Washington Meeting Abstract Submission.
The URL (and a link) for this form is:
http://www.aas.org/divisions/dda/absform.html
Alternatively, you may use the LaTeX template available through an anonymous FTP logon at the AAS Executive Office. To retrieve the DDA abstract materials, use the following procedure:
prompt> ftp ftp.aas.org Username: anonymous Password: your email ftp> cd meetings/dda/abstracts ftp> mget * ftp> bye prompt>
If your computer does not know about ftp.aas.org, try typing the number [192.102.234.112] on the FTP command line. Complete instructions for submitting the abstract is available in the file aasabins.txt in the above archive. If you have any questions about electronic submission while you are preparing your abstract, please contact the Executive Office for assistance. You can call the office at 202-328-2010, or send email to absdda-help@aas.org.
Or use this FORM
When you submit your abstract electronically, you should receive the following confirmations:
If by Web-form - an immediate acknowledgement to your browser; a copy of your submission to your email account and then a later email message including your running id.
If by email submission to absdda-submit@aas.org - an email acknowledgement of receipt of your submission followed by a later email message including your running id.
Incoming abstracts are processed quickly. The abstracts are accepted and assigned running identification numbers during this stage, and notifying you of the running number. If you do not receive a confirmation, DO NOT RESUBMIT THE ABSTRACT. Please contact the Executive Office by calling 202-328-2010, or by sending email to absdda-help@aas.org. If you submit more than once, you are likely to be charged more than once. Contacting the Executive Office will help avoid this inconvenience.
If you are submitting abstracts for a group of people in your institution, please DO NOT submit them in the same e-mail message. We do require separate e-mail messages for all abstracts. If you include more than one abstract in an e-mail message, the additional abstracts are likely to remain unprocessed.
You can get a postscript file of the abstract form and instructions directly from the AAS FTP Server. The following instructions will allow you to access it.
prompt> ftp ftp.aas.org Username: anonymous Password: your email ftp> cd /ftp/meetings/dda ftp> get ddaform.ps ftp> bye prompt>
Print the form on your own Postscript Laserprinter and fill it out just as you would for the old printed forms.
