Athena++ radiation GRMHD code and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework
Please read our contributing guidelines for details on how to participate.
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: Athena++ v24.0},
month = jun,
year = 2024,
publisher = {Zenodo},
version = {24.0},
doi = {10.5281/zenodo.11660592},
