Information for Authors

Acknowledgements

Authors who utilize SOFIA data should provide the following acknowledgement in their publications,

"Based [in part] on observations made with the NASA/DLR Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). SOFIA is jointly operated by the Universities Space Research Association, Inc. (USRA), under NASA contract NNA17BF53C , and the Deutsches SOFIA Institut (DSI) under DLR contract 50 OK 2002 to the University of Stuttgart. [Financial support for this work was provided by NASA {through award #____ issued by USRA.]"

If the work was supported by funds awarded by USRA through the SOFIA observing program, then include the award number as shown in the square brackets. Awards to NASA civil servants are not distributed through USRA. In this case, remove the text in curly brackets. If there was no financial support issued through the SOFIA observing program, then the text in square brackets may be omitted.

Authors utilizing SOFIA/GREAT observations are reminded that the Calls for Proposals state that "For GO publications resulting directly from accepted SOFIA proposals that involve GREAT observations, the GREAT PI may designate up to three co-authors."
