A few versions of AASTeX back, when i was in grad school, I don't think
they supported citet or citep at all-- only cite, with parentheses.
(If they did support more, I didn't know about it.) This was obviously
not enough, so I wrote my own LaTeX style file "astroref.sty" which did
the main kinds of citation you wanted to do. It also had an option for
keeping track of "P99" like citations, and automatically put the
"hereafter cited as..." text the first time that reference showed up.
What I'm doing right now is just using hte text P99 instead of a \cite
command, but naturally it's preferable to just use a cite command for
everything.
I stopped using this a few years ago once AASTeX 5 came out, but a
friend I have at Goddard was still using it as of last week (when I
visited him).
Also to go along with it was a perl script that would put all the
non-standard citations into your text "by hand". I would run this perl
script on the LaTeX just before submission, so that the subitted
version wouldn't need the nonstandard style files.
This moment from Rob's geek past has been brought to you by the
Dr. Pepper corporation.
