I’m working on a paper that has used some objects that came from the CatSim database. I’m curious, though, about a few points of how it should be cited. I’ve cited the papers that are used to simulate the objects I’m interested in, but is there a preferred citation for CatSim and/or a version for the database that’s hosted at UW?
@danielsf you’d provided very helpful support in accessing it in the first place, so bringing this to your attention here in particular.
I think the papers that should be cited if you used CatSim are:
Connolly et al. 2010 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010SPIE.7738E..1OC)
Connolly et al. 2014 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014SPIE.9150E..14C)
Note that there are further instructions/information on citing LSST simulations products at https://github.com/lsst-pst/LSSTreferences
but I think @danielsf has got you the right two references above (the papers listed in that github repo only include the most recent … it seems like we need to extend it to include relevant older papers too).
