Error: Could not read layout file for textclass "emulateapj"

[klaus lang]

Hello,
please help me out, I cannot open so many files in Lyx because there is
no layout file for "emulateapj".
Can you please provide one or do you have another solution I tried to
write my own layout file, but failed, in no forum I got an answer.
Kind regards from Germany

This seems to be based upon revtex4. So for a first approximation to a
layout file you could: (i) copy revtex4.layout to your local layout
directory and then (ii) change the second line to:

# \DelcareLaTeXClass[emulateapj,natbib.sty,revsymb.sty]{Emulate AJP}

Then reconfigure LyX. This will not get you all the functionality, but
it will likely get you a lot of it, and you can make changes and
additions as need be.

If you run into problems, ask on lyx-users.
