Citing the IRS and SMART

We request that authors using data from the IRS and/or the SMART software include the following acknowledgements and citations in their papers :

• Spitzer: Werner et al. 2004, ApJS, 154, 1, The Spitzer Space Telescope Mission

• IRS: The IRS was a collaborative venture between Cornell University and Ball Aerospace Corporation funded by NASA through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Ames Research Center.
  Houck et al., ApJS 154, 18-24, 2004. "The Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope"

• SMART: SMART was developed by the IRS Team at Cornell University. The most important and recent changes relevant to spectral extractions (including the optimal extraction GUI "AdOpt") are described in Lebouteiller, Bernard-Salas, Sloan & Barry, arxiv0910.1846, 2009. "Advanced Optimal Extraction for the Spitzer/IRS". Publications presenting extractions performed in SMART should cite this reference along with the original SMART paper: Higdon et al., PASP 116, 975-984, 2004. "The SMART Data Analysis Package for the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope"
