Please read our contributing guidelines 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:

@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-public-version: 
                   Athena++ v21.0}},
  month        = jan,
  year         = 2021,
