Citing Jester

Citing Jester#

This is a guide on how to properly credit research works that introduced new features into the jester code.

NOTE: Papers introducing the physics underpinning the code are often described in the documentation of the respective class/functions: refer to the documentation of those classes for the correct citations.

Jester methods papers#

If you use the jester software in your research, please cite our methods paper

@article{Wouters:2025zju,
    author = "Wouters, Thibeau and Pang, Peter T. H. and Koehn, Hauke and Rose, Henrik and Somasundaram, Rahul and Tews, Ingo and Dietrich, Tim and Van Den Broeck, Chris",
    title = "{Leveraging differentiable programming in the inverse problem of neutron stars}",
    eprint = "2504.15893",
    archivePrefix = "arXiv",
    primaryClass = "astro-ph.HE",
    reportNumber = "LA-UR-25-23486",
    doi = "10.1103/v2y8-kxvx",
    journal = "Phys. Rev. D",
    volume = "112",
    number = "4",
    pages = "043037",
    year = "2025"
}

More specifically, if you use the TOV solver implemented in anistropy.py, please cite

@article{Pang:2025fes,
    author = "Pang, Peter T. H. and Brown, Stephanie M. and Wouters, Thibeau and Van Den Broeck, Chris",
    title = "{Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy}",
    eprint = "2507.13039",
    archivePrefix = "arXiv",
    primaryClass = "astro-ph.HE",
    month = "7",
    year = "2025"
}
