Publications based on MIRC-X and MYSTIC Data:

We ask all CHARA users publishing MIRCX or MYSTIC data to offer paper co-authorship to the instrument team based on the year the DATA was taken. This acknowledges the team's contributions to the development of the instrument, control software, data reduction pipeline, and science verification. Please contact the team members in advance of publication so they have an opportunity to review the paper and agree to be a coauthor. The MIRC-X/MYSTIC team page provides a table to identify active team members based on the year the data was collected and also lists contact emails and affiliations.

Please include the following acknowledgment: "SK acknowledges funding for MIRC-X received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Starting Grant No. 639889 and Consolidated Grant No. 101003096). JDM acknowledges funding for the development of MIRC-X (NASA-XRP NNX16AD43G, NSF-AST 2009489) and MYSTIC (NSF-ATI 1506540, NSF-AST 1909165)."

If you used the Aspro and SearchCal tools, please acknowledge JMMC:

Authorship recommendations:

There is no obligation to include CHARA staff in the author list.  However, if a CHARA staff member contributed in some particular way in planning, obtaining or analyzing the observations or preparing the manuscript, then we recommend that that person be recognized in the authorship list. Initial publications about new instrumentation should include the CHARA staff at Mount Wilson who helped with implementation.

Communication of results:

Please send copies of each of your published papers to Douglas Gies and Gail Schaefer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) , so that we can keep our publication list up to date (and enjoy reading about your results).

AAS Journals Facility Tracking:

The Astrophysical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement, and Astronomical Journal allow you to tag the CHARA Array with the following keyword in the \facility{} or \facilities{} field:

CHARA

Authors may include additional text in parentheses after the facility keyword to cite facility instruments or telescope configurations.
