modified aa.bst with clickable url link in the bibliography

A&A-bibstyle-with-hyperlink

• modified aa.bst with clickable url links in the bibliography
• bst file for Astronomy & Astrophysical Journal
• modified based on the aa.bst file from http://ftp.edpsciences.org/pub/aa/readme.html
• it is recommended to use the bibtex record generated from NASA/ADS in order to include doi and adsurl properly

For making the links and colors work, you should also add something like the following in the preamble of the .TeX file

%---------- Add the clickable link function ----------
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{natbib,twoopt}
\usepackage[hyphenbreaks]{breakurl}
\usepackage[breaklinks]{hyperref}      %% to avoid \citeads line fills, add "draft" 
                                       %% to avoid the PDFTK error (broken links)
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}             %% natbib format for A&A and ApJ
\definecolor{cobalt}{rgb}{0.06, 0.2, 0.65}
\hypersetup{
  colorlinks,
  citecolor=cobalt,
  linkcolor=[rgb]{0.8, 0.2, 1.0},
  urlcolor=cobalt,
}
\makeatletter
  \newcommandtwoopt{\citeads}[3][][]{\href{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/#3}%
    {\def\hyper@linkstart##1##2{}%
     \let\hyper@linkend\@empty\citealp[#1][#2]{#3}}}
  \newcommandtwoopt{\citepads}[3][][]{\href{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/#3}%
    {\def\hyper@linkstart##1##2{}%
     \let\hyper@linkend\@empty\citep[#1][#2]{#3}}}
  \newcommandtwoopt{\citetads}[3][][]{\href{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/#3}%
    {\def\hyper@linkstart##1##2{}%
     \let\hyper@linkend\@empty\citet[#1][#2]{#3}}}
  \newcommandtwoopt{\citeyearads}[3][][]%
    {\href{http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/#3}
    {\def\hyper@linkstart##1##2{}%
     \let\hyper@linkend\@empty\citeyear[#1][#2]{#3}}}
\makeatother

See an example below

Notes:

• Some users report that the color package generates some warning and switch to xcolor might help.

adsurl and adsnote in PhDthesis

I was having

Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.

errors and was not sure why. Then I found the PhD thesis entry, which was not from the ADS, was the problem.

Original (gave error):

@PHDTHESIS{2010PhDT.Macke,
author = {{Macke}, Robert J.},
title = "{Survey of meteorite physical properties density, porosity and magnetic susceptibility}",
school = {University of Central Florida},
year = 2010,
}

which generated

\bibitem[{{Macke}(2010)}]{2010PhDT.Macke}
{Macke}, R.~J. 2010, }{{Survey of meteorite physical properties density,
  porosity and magnetic susceptibility}}, PhD thesis, University of Central
  Florida

(Note the } in the second line after the year)

Changed (no error):

@PHDTHESIS{2010PhDT.Macke,
author = {{Macke}, Robert J.},
title = "{Survey of meteorite physical properties density, porosity and magnetic susceptibility}",
school = {University of Central Florida},
year = 2010,
       adsurl = {},
      adsnote = {}
}

which generated:

\bibitem[{{Macke}(2010)}]{2010PhDT.Macke}
{Macke}, R.~J. 2010, \href{}{{Survey of meteorite physical properties density,
  porosity and magnetic susceptibility}}, PhD thesis, University of Central
  Florida

After changing this, I don't see the warnings I reported in #2 .

remove breakurl?

using breakurl gave me

Warning: You are using breakurl while processing via pdflatex

I just removed the usepackage and it worked fine.

color to xcolor

\usepackage{color}

Gave this warning: Incompatible color definition

Changing it to xcolor removed the warning...

\usepackage{xcolor}
