Request for Acknowledgment of Use of Chandra Resources

Chandra users are asked to acknowledge in the acknowledgment section of any resulting publications their use of Chandra data (new or archived) and/or CXC software.

This will help us greatly to keep track of software usage, archive access, etc., information that is essential for providing full accountability of our work and services.

The following language is suggested (to be adapted as applicable, of course):
This research has made use of data obtained from the Chandra Data Archive and software provided by the Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) in the application packages CIAO, ChIPS, and Sherpa.
We would like to remind you that it is also very helpful for us if you could list the actual ObsIds of the observations that were used, or include Dataset Identifiers in the manuscript.

Thank you.
