Abstract
In this document (pasj.tex), we provide a brief explanation about pasj01.cls, the current
version of PASJ’s document class for authors. The class file, pasj01.cls, is prepared so that
authors can typeset/preview articles for PASJ under the standard LATEX 2ε system. Note that it
is assumed that authors are used to writing documents in LATEX style; that is, this manual shows
only the differences of functions provided by pasj01.cls and those in the standard LATEX 2ε .
Here, we use the phrase “standard LATEX” for “LATEX 2ε without any optional package.” The old
system, LATEX2.09, is no longer supported.
Key words: key word1 — key word2 — . . . — key wordn

When pasj01.cls is applied to an article for PASJ, the article
should be prepared in the standard LATEX 2ε style with slight

modifications. That is, a manuscript has the following structure:

\draft \end{document}

The cross-reference system of LATEX is also available without
\title{title of the article} restriction. If the graphicx package is available, figures in eps

\altaffiltext{}{the authors’ affiliation} section 6).
