\section{Technical Articles}
\label{sec:ack:technical}
% 2018-02-07: Put used data from git here.
Stellarium would not look the same and work without these works from computer graphics and astronomy.
\begin{description}
\item[The tone reproductor class]
The class mainly performs a fast implementation of the algorithm
from \citet{TumblinRushmeier:1993}, with more accurate values from \citet{DevlinChalmersWilkie:2002}.
The blue shift formula is taken from \citet{WannJensen:2000} and combined with the Scotopic vision formula from \citet{Larson:1997}.
\item[The skylight class]
The class governs sky colors and is a fast implementation of the algorithm by \citet{Preetham:1999}.
\item[The skybright class]
The class governs physical sky brightness values based on Bradley Schaefer's \program{VISLIMIT.BAS} basic source code \citep{Schaefer:1998}.
% from Brad Schaefer's article on pages 57-60, May 1998 _Sky & Telescope_, "To the Visual Limits".
The basic sources are available on the Sky and Telescope web site (code ``offered as-is and without support'').

\section{Included Source Code}
\label{sec:ack:code}
\begin{itemize}
\item Some computation of the sidereal time (\file{sidereal\_time.h/c}) and Pluto
orbit contains code from the libnova library (LGPL) by Liam Girdwood.
\item The \file{orbit.cpp/h} and \file{solve.h} files were directly borrowed from
\program{Celestia} (Chris Laurel; GPL license). They have now evolved a bit.
\item Several implementations of IMCCE theories for planet and satellite movement by Johannes Gajdosik
(MIT-style license, see the corresponding files for the license text)
\item The tesselation algorithms were originally extracted from the glues
library version 1.4 by Mike Gorchak \url{<[email protected]>} (SGI FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE B).
\item OBJ loader in the Scenery3D plugin based on glObjViewer (c) 2007 dhpoware
\item Parts of the code to work with DE430 and DE431 data files have been taken from Project Pluto (GPL license).
\item The \file{SpoutLibrary.dll} and header from the SpoutSDK version 2.005 available at \url{http://spout.zeal.co} (BSD license).
\end{itemize}
\section{Data}
\label{sec:ack:data}
\begin{enumerate}
\item The Hipparcos star catalog
From ESA (European Space Agency) and the Hipparcos mission. ref. ESA, 1997, The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues, ESA SP-1200 \url{http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/I/239}
% TODO: NEXT ENTRY should be changed to ExplanSuppl./WGRE
\item The solar system data mainly comes from IMCCE and partly from Celestia.
\item Polynesian constellations are based on diagrams from the Polynesian Voyaging Society
% TODO: MAKE SURE THIS IS STILL VCALID WITH THE NEW VERSION 2018.
\item Chinese constellations are based on diagrams from the Hong Kong Space Museum
\item Egyptian constellations are based on the work of Juan Antonio Belmonte, Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias
\item The Tycho-2 Catalogue of the 2.5 Million Brightest Stars Hog E., Fabricius C., Makarov V.V., Urban S., Corbin T., Wycoff G., Bastian U., Schwekendiek P., Wicenec A.
Astron. Astrophys. 355, L27 (2000)
\url{http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/I/259}
\item Naval Observatory Merged Astrometric Dataset (NOMAD) version 1 (\url{http://www.nofs.navy.mil/nomad})
Norbert Zacharias writes:
\begin{quotation}
``There are no fees, both UCAC and NOMAD are freely available with the only requirement that the source of the data (U.S.
Naval Observatory) and original product name need to be provided with any distribution, as well as a description about any
changes made to the data, if at all.''
\end{quotation}
The changes made to the data are:
\begin{itemize}
\item try to compute visual magnitude and color from the b,v,r values
\item compute $\mathrm{nr\_of\_measurements} = the number of valid b,v,r values$
\item throw away or keep stars (depending on magnitude, nr\_of\_measurements, combination of flags, tycho2 number)
\item add all stars from Hipparcos (incl.\ component solutions), and tycho2+1st supplement
\item reorganize the stars in several brigthness levels and triangular zones according to position and magnitude
\end{itemize}
The programs that are used to generate the star files are called
"MakeCombinedCatalogue", "ParseHip", "ParseNomad", and can be
found in the util subdirectory in source code. The position,
magnitudes, and proper motions of the stars coming from NOMAD
are unchanged, except for a possible loss of precision,
especially in magnitude. When there is no v-magnitude, it is
estimated from r or b magnitude. When there is no b- or v-
magnitude, the color B-V is estimated from the other magnitudes.
Also proper motions of faint stars are neglected at all.

\noindent The Digitized Sky Surveys were produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute under U.S. Government grant NAG W-2166.
The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope.
The plates were processed into the present compressed digital form with the permission of these institutions.
The National Geographic Society - Palomar Observatory Sky Atlas (POSS-I) was made by the
California Institute of Technology with grants from the National Geographic Society.
The Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-II) was made by the California Institute of Technology with
funds from the National Science Foundation, the National Geographic Society, the Sloan Foundation,
the Samuel Oschin Foundation, and the Eastman Kodak Corporation.
The Oschin Schmidt Telescope is operated by the California Institute of Technology and Palomar Observatory.
The UK Schmidt Telescope was operated by the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, with funding from the
UK Science and Engineering Research Council (later the UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council),
until 1988 June, and thereafter by the Anglo-Australian Observatory.
The blue plates of the southern Sky Atlas and its Equatorial Extension (together known as the SERC-J),
as well as the Equatorial Red (ER), and the Second Epoch [red] Survey (SES) were all taken with the UK Schmidt.
All data are subject to the copyright given in the copyright summary\footnote{\url{http://archive.stsci.edu/dss/copyright.html}}.
Copyright information specific to individual plates is provided in the downloaded FITS headers.
Supplemental funding for sky-survey work at the ST ScI is provided by the European Southern Observatory.
