References
If the SAOimage display program has proven useful in your work, please
reference at least one of the following papers. The full texts are available
through the links below, if you want to find out which is most applicable.
- Mike Van Hilst, who wrote most of SAOimage, published this
software report in the Bulletin of the
American Astronomical Society. It remains the best reference for the program.
- VanHilst, M., 1990, BAAS 22, p.935.
- Doug Mink, who added world coordinate capabilities in 1994 and continues to
maintain the program, wrote a
1995 ADASS paper
about SAOimage and WCS:
- "Browsing Images in World Coordinate Space with SAOimage",
Mink, D.J., 1995, in Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems V, A.S.P.
Conference Series, Vol. 101, 1996, George H. Jacoby and Jeannette Barnes, eds.,
p. 96.

- The 1998 ADASS paper
is the best published description of the use of SAOimage with the tools
of the WCSTools package:
- "WCSTools: An Image Astrometry Toolkit", Douglas J. Mink (1998), in
Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems VIII,
A.S.P. Conference Series, Vol. 172, 1999, Dave Mehringer,
