  • Reference to the database should use the following link: https://aras-database.github.io/database/index.html.
  • The names of observers whose spectra are used in the analysis must be included in the Acknowledgements section of the publication.
  • If the publication includes, or is linked to, a table of observations, it is strongly encouraged that this should include the names of the observers.
  • It is the responsibility of the lead author to consider including observers as co-authors if they believe their observations have made a substantial contribution to the analysis.
  • Authors are strongly recommended to inform the ARAS Team via the following email address prior to any publication using spectra from the database to confirm the Acknowledgement is compliant with the conditions of use: francoismathieu.teyssier [at] gmail.com
