# Thesis Template - Astronomy students
_Updated: 20 March 2019_

This repository contains a thesis template for the use of PhD students at the University of Sheffield.
Official guidelines can be found on the website and summarised below.
This repository contains a thesis template for the use of PhD astronomy students at the University of Sheffield.

## Latex template
The latex template provided here is a cleaned version for the template that has been passed down generations of Astronomy PhD students. Students from other subjects (and other Universities) are welcome to use it if they so wish, although we recommend you check with your supervisor.

## Formatting Guidelines

The format guidelines (beyond the sections included in the template) are far and few between. There are two you need to bear in mind:
* Although single-spacing is acceptable it is much more comment for people to either use **double-space** or **one and a half** spacing for the main body of the Thesis in order to give ample room for the examiners to comment (the template uses one and a half by default but it is commented appropriately to tell you what to change).
* Although single-spacing is acceptable it is much more comment for people to either use **double-space** or **one and a half** spacing for the main body of the Thesis in order to give ample room for the examiners to comment.
* Your **summary** page should not exceed **300 words**.
* Theses should preferably be printed double-sided.

## Submission Guidelines

* Submit to: **Research Services, New Spring House, 231 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2GW.**
* You need to submit **3 copies** of your thesis: **2 bound copies** (ring biders are *not* acceptable, but you can use comb binders) and **one on CD**.
* You also need to submit your thesis to **Turnitin** to check for plagiarism. See below for a link to the Univesity Guidelines.

* **PHD STUDENTS SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SEND A COPY OF THEIR THESIS TO THEIR EXAMINERS BEFORE SUBMISSION**


## Disclaimer
_This summary is provided for convenience and quick access to essential information. The authors take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information and we strongly recommend that you refer to the guidelines provided on the University of Sheffield website (see reference links below) before you start writting your thesis and double-check before you submit_

* Theses should preferably be printed double-sided, in which case you want to change the page layout to have the headers alternate between pages. How to do this is commented in the main thesis.tex file.

Sheffield helped build the \acro{goto} telescope on La Palma.

There is also a second \acro{goto} site in Australia, at Siding Spring Observatory.

The full name is the \acrofull{goto}.

Did you know you can nicely format units with the \texttt{siunitx} package? For instance, \SI{100}{\solarmass\per\second} or $F_\lambda = 5.5 \times 10^{6}/\lambda_\text{eff}~\si{\photon\per\second\per\centi\metre\squared\per\angstrom}$. You use \texttt{\textbackslash{}SI\{value\}\{unit\}}, or just \texttt{\textbackslash{}si\{unit\}} if you want the unit on its own.

Astronomy is all about looking up at the sky.

\subsection{Examples of astronomy}
\label{sec:examples}

Some astronomy is observational and some is theoretical. There is a lot of debate on which is better.

\section{Thesis outline}

This thesis is going to show just how great astronomy is. In \nref{chap:chapter1} I describe my main findings. In \nref{chap:chapter2} I prove my theory. Finally in \nref{chap:conclusion} I present concluding remarks and some suggestions for future work.

% This file defines colours to use for section headings, links etc

% Colours are used in various places. The main ones are:
% - section heading colours, defined under "heading colours" in format.txt
% - link colours, defined in the "hyperref" package configuration (see packages.txt)
% - caption colours, defined in the "caption" package configuration (see packages.txt)

% If you just want to make coloured text use "\textcolor{red}{THIS TEXT IS RED}"

% The "xcolors" package includes a lot of default colours, see the documentation
% at https://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor for a full list.
% Here we define various custom colours, for formatting or just in case they are useful.

% Example colours, can used for headers
\definecolor{StevanceBlue}{RGB}{46,116,181}
\definecolor{SheffieldPurple}{RGB}{68,0,153} % < this is the current default, based on the Uni logo (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/brand-toolkit/colour)
