I don't know of any IAU or AAS official standards; citation format
seems to be up to each journal. That means the same paper can be
cited different ways in different journals. In fact, one sees A&A in
some journals and Astr. Ap. in others.


Right. Sometimes one even sees different forms for the same journal in
the same paper, but that is due to sloppiness on the part of the authors
and editors.

If the journal has its own
cls file, that should include a bibliography style.


Certainly.

But that concerns abbreviations and so on, whereas I was wondering about
the values of the citation "fields", independently of how they are
formatted.

As a practical matter, I'd see what ADS "export citation" produces
and use that if it's not ridiculous.


I'll give it a try, but presumably it will treat the issue number like a
volume number, given that that's how it's used in the bibcode.
