LaTeX Resources for Graduate Students: Sample LaTeX file with bibliography

Below is a sample LaTeX .tex manuscript file. It has dependencies on the following files: aastex62.cls (class file), thisjournal.bst (bibliography style file), and mybibs.bib (bibtex reference database).

\documentclass[twocolumns]{aastex62}

\begin{document}

E = m c$^2$ was first postulated by \cite{Einstein}.
 
\bibliographystyle{thisjournal}
\bibliography{mybibs}

\end{document}

To generate the .aux file, needed to generate the .bbl file using BibTeX, type latex manuscript, where manuscript.tex is the name of the LaTeX manuscript file. Rename the .bbl file into bibliography.tex and include the bibliography in the LaTeX manuscript:

\documentclass[twocolumns]{aastex62}

\begin{document}

E = m c$^2$ was first postulated by \cite{Einstein}.

\bibliographystyle{thisjournal}
\bibliography{mybibs}
\include{bibliography} 
\end{document}

Once done, execute latex manuscript twice more to get the reference list cross checked.
