Thank you very much for your participation in the 13th Annual International Astrophysics Conference in Myrtle Beach, SC. Following the tradition of this conference series, we are soliciting your contribution to the conference proceedings, which will be published through IOP Publishing. Following the trend in publishing, please note that IOP is an ONLINE PUBLISHER ONLY (in case you’re wondering, ApJ is aggressively trying to phase out their print edition within a couple of years). This means there will be no book provided. The entire proceedings will be available for download free of charge to you. Below are the publisher’s instructions for preparing your manuscript. Please follow the instructions carefully. Templates are available for either Microsoft Word or LaTex and pdfs will be submitted as the final article. Although there are no formal page limits for a paper, we suggest that manuscripts be approximately 6 – 10 pages in length since this is a conference proceedings. All the manuscripts will go through a peer-review process.

We ask you to submit your manuscript as soon as you can and NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 2014.

Please send your manuscript and all relevant correspondence to Adele Corona at icnsmeetings@gmail.com.

We look forward to your contributions!

With best wishes,
