 I asked this a few moons ago and the (excellent) advice given was to
use the macros defined in the Astronomy & Astrophysics style file
which are:

\def\degr{\hbox{$^\circ$}}
\def\arcmin{\hbox{$^\prime$}}
\def\arcsec{\hbox{$^{\prime\prime}$}}
\def\fdg{\hbox{$.\!\!^\circ$}}
\def\farcm{\hbox{$.\mkern-4mu^\prime$}}
\def\farcs{\hbox{$.\!\!^{\prime\prime}$}}
% apparently the last three are for decimal degrees eg. 10\fdg Celcius

 the last comment was added by one of the posters.
