The American Astronomical Society is also seriously into electronic publishing . The AAS style is called AASTeX . The aasguide.tex source file is also available. You must submit your lab log book along with your report. In principle, the report should be readable without the logbook, but you may reference your log for original tables of data which are presented graphically in your report.
Some appropriate examples are available in the reference lists for the experiments.
The cover sheet of the report must contain the name of the experiment, your name, your lab partner's name and the date the report was submitted. If this information is not there the report will be returned without grading. The report should have a descriptive title reflecting what you actually did and an abstract of 200 words or less in which you summarize your results, including numerical values with units and errors. The main body of the report should contain A clear statement of what your report is about. Analysis of your data including error analysis and perhaps presentation of more detailed aspects of theory for comparison.
