Cite GSPICE

If you use GSPICE, cite the paper that describes the method (Finkbeiner et al., 2025):

@article{finkbeiner2025gspice,
  author  = {Finkbeiner, Douglas P. and Speagle, Joshua S. and Karim, Tanveer},
  title   = {Data-Driven Stellar Spectral Modelling with {GSPICE}},
  journal = {arXiv e-prints},
  year    = {2025},
  eprint  = {2511.16754},
  archivePrefix = {arXiv},
  url     = {https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.16754},
}

The software

CITATION.cff holds the citation metadata of the software, including its authors, version, license and release date, and names the paper above as the preferred citation. On GitHub, “Cite this repository” in the sidebar of the repository gives the same metadata as APA and BibTeX. To cite the version that you used, give the value of gspice.__version__.

The worked example

A survey end to end simulates its spectra from the PHOENIX stellar atmosphere models and the UVES sky emission atlas. If you use these spectra, cite both sources:

• The PHOENIX stellar models, the library PHOENIX-ACES-AGSS-COND-2011 (Husser et al., 2013). The library asks its users to cite this paper.
• The sky emission lines of the UVES sky atlas (Hanuschik, 2003).
