Design concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array CTA: an advanced facility for ground-based high-energy gamma-ray astronomy

Marcos Daniel Actis, G. Agnetta, F. Aharonian et al. · 22 Nov 2011

Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has a huge potential in astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. CTA is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100…

A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL

G. Tinetti, P. Drossart, Paul Eccleston et al. · 11 Sep 2018

Thousands of exoplanets have now been discovered with a huge range of masses, sizes and orbits: from rocky Earth-like planets to large gas giants grazing the surface of their host star. However, the essential nature of these exoplanets remains largely mysterious: there is no known, discernible pattern linking the presence, size, or orbital parameters of…

The Kilo-Degree Survey

Jelte T. A. de Jong, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Konrad H. Kuijken et al. · 31 Jul 2012

The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of data products will be delivered to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the community by the KiDS survey team. Spread over Europe, the KiDS team uses…

Experimental Astronomy template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Experimental Astronomy format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Experimental Astronomy template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Experimental Astronomy use?
Experimental Astronomy uses Numbered (Springer) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B., Lee, C.: A representative article title. Experimental Astronomy 12, 45–58 (2023)
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Experimental Astronomy?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Experimental Astronomy document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Experimental Astronomy template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Experimental Astronomy format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Experimental Astronomy?
Experimental Astronomy is a physics journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Experimental Astronomy template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Experimental Astronomy PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Experimental Astronomy template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Experimental Astronomy template cost?
You can start writing in the Experimental Astronomy template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Experimental Astronomy PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
