Please read [our contributing guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details on how to participate.

## Citation

To cite Athena++ in your publication, please use the following BibTeX to refer to the code's [method paper](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020ApJS..249....4S/abstract):

```

@article{Stone2020,

	doi = {10.3847/1538-4365/ab929b},

	url = {https://doi.org/10.3847%2F1538-4365%2Fab929b},

	year = 2020,

	month = jun,

	publisher = {American Astronomical Society},

	volume = {249},

	number = {1},

	pages = {4},

	author = {James M. Stone and Kengo Tomida and Christopher J. White and Kyle G. Felker},

	title = {The Athena$\mathplus$$\mathplus$ Adaptive Mesh Refinement Framework: Design and Magnetohydrodynamic Solvers},

	journal = {The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series},

}

```

Additionally, you can add a reference to `https://github.com/PrincetonUniversity/athena` in a footnote.

Finally, we have minted DOIs for each released version of Athena++ on Zenodo. This practice encourages computational reproducibility, since you can specify exactly which version of the code was used to produce the results in your publication. `10.5281/zenodo.4455879` is the DOI which cites _all_ versions of the code; it will always resolve to the latest release. Click on the Zenodo badge above to get access to BibTeX, etc. info related to these DOIs, e.g.:

```

@software{athena,

  author       = {Athena++ development team},

  title        = {PrincetonUniversity/athena: Athena++ v24.0},

  month        = jun,

  year         = 2024,

  publisher    = {Zenodo},

  version      = {24.0},

  doi          = {10.5281/zenodo.11660592},
