SITELLE Acknowledgment Text in Publications
CFHT strongly encourages the inclusion of an acknowledgement within papers, posters, press releases, websites, and other published materials, physical or digital, to recognize the contributions of observatory personnel throughout the data acquisition and reduction process, the significance of Maunakea, and the instrumentation used for the research.
The text of the acknowledgment varies by instrument. Versions for all instruments, including SITELLE, can be found on the CFHT Publications page. Use of the standard text is encouraged where space is available. If limited by space, word count, or other parameter, the shorter version may be used.

The reference for the SITELLE instrument is:
Grandmont et al., 2012, SPIE, 8446

SITELLE is an acronym for Spectromètre Imageur à Transformée de Fourier pour l'Étude en Long et en Large des raies d'Émission (Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer for the Study in Length and Width of Emission lines).

"Sitelle" is the French word for the bird known in English as a "Nuthatch".
