Citing SNEWPY

If you use SNEWPY for your own research, please cite the following two papers:

  • A. L. Baxter et al. (SNEWS Collaboration): “SNEWPY: A Data Pipeline from Supernova Simulations to Neutrino Signals”. Journal of Open Source Software 6 (2021) 67, 03772. [DOI:10.21105/joss.03772]

  • A. L. Baxter et al. (SNEWS Collaboration): “SNEWPY: A Data Pipeline from Supernova Simulations to Neutrino Signals”. Astrophysical Journal 925 (2022) 107. [arXiv:2109.08188, DOI:10.3847/1538-4357/ac350f]

To refer to a specific version of SNEWPY (e.g. to ensure reproducibility), you can use the Zenodo entry for SNEWPY. Zenodo automatically archives all released SNEWPY versions and generates version-specific DOIs.

Additionally, SNEWPY lets you access hundreds of supernova models from different modeling groups. If you use one of these models, please always cite the appropriate reference. You can find the appropriate reference in the README file downloaded alongside the model files or in the documentation of the respective SupernovaModel subclass.
