Acknowledging fcmaker

  1. Only use lower case letters when mentioning fcmaker, and always include the version number. Ideally, you should also include the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) associated with any of the Github releases, e.g.:

    fcmaker 0.3.1: DOI_latest

  1. If you use fcmaker for your observations (and remember that you did so by the time you reach the publication stage!), a friendly nudge along the following blurb will be greatly appreciated:

    This research has made use of \textsc{fcmaker}, a Python module to create
ESO-compliant finding charts. \textsc{fcmaker} relies on \textsc{matplotlib}
(Hunter 2007), \textsc{astropy}, a community-developed core Python package
for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration et al., 2013), \textsc{astroplan} (Morris et al.
2018), \textsc{aplpy}, an open-source plotting package for Python (Robitaille 2012),
and \textsc{montage}, funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant Number
ACI-1440620 and previously funded by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration’s Earth Science Technology Office, Computation Technologies Project,
under Cooperative Agreement Number NCC5-626 between NASA and the California Institute
of Technology. \textsc{fcmaker} uses the VizieR catalogue access tool, CDS, Strasbourg,
France. The original description of the VizieR
service was published in Ochsenbein (2000). \textsc{fcmaker} also makes use of data
from the European Space Agency (ESA) mission Gaia (https://www.cosmos.esa.int/gaia),
processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC,
https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/dpac/consortium). Funding for the DPAC has been
provided by national institutions, in particular the institutions participating in the
Gaia Multilateral Agreement. In particular, \textsc{fcmaker} uses data from the Gaia
(Gaia Collaboration et al., 2016) Data Release 2 (Gaia Collaboration et al., 2018).
