Citing PyHermes

If PyHermes contributes to a publication, presentation, or released data product, please cite the software version used and the four papers below. Together, they describe the MRACS foundation, the in-situ field–window formulation, the isotropic 3PCF multipole algorithm, and the complete Hermes/PyHermes framework. GitHub and compatible reference managers can read the repository’s CITATION.cff file directly.
