In addition to these direct contributors, we gratefully acknowledge the following people who provided some of the data on which slug relies:

  • The library of stellar evolutionary tracks and stellar atmospheres is taken from Claus Leitherer’s starburst99 package.

  • Much of the library of photometric filters is taken from Charlie Conroy’s FSPS package.

  • Daniela Calzetti provided the extinction curves

  • Tuguldur Sukhbold provided the core collapse supernova yield tables.

  • Amanda Karakas and Carolyn Doherty provided the AGB yield tables.
