Radiative Transfer Simulations of Infrared Dark Clouds [PDF]
AbstractThe determination of prestellar core structure is often based on observations of (sub)millimeter dust continuum. However, recently the Spitzer Space Telescope provided us with IR images of many objects not only in emission but also in absorption.

Optical depth in polarised Monte Carlo radiative transfer [PDF]
Context: The Monte Carlo method is the most widely used method to solve radiative transfer problems in astronomy, especially in a fully general 3D geometry. A crucial concept in any Monte Carlo radiative transfer code is the random generation of the next

Is a scaling factor required to obtain closure between measured and modelled atmospheric O4 absorptions? An assessment of uncertainties of measurements and radiative transfer simulations for 2 selected days during the MAD-CAT campaign [PDF]
In this study the consistency between MAX-DOAS measurements and radiative transfer simulations of the atmospheric O4 absorption is investigated on 2 mainly cloud-free days during the MAD-CAT campaign in Mainz, Germany, in summer 2013.

Simulation of SEVIRI infrared channels: a case study from the Eyjafjallajökull April/May 2010 eruption [PDF]
Infrared satellite images are widely and successfully used to detect and follow atmospheric ash from erupting volcanoes. We describe a new radiative transfer model framework for the simulation of infrared radiances, which can be compared directly with ...

Over 500 Days in the Life of the Photosphere of the Type Iax Supernova SN 2014dt
Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are the largest known class of peculiar white dwarf SNe, distinct from normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The unique properties of SNe Iax, especially their strong photospheric lines out to extremely late times, allow us to

Atmospheric dynamics of red supergiant stars and Interferometry
We developed a 3D pure LTE radiative transfer code to derive observables expected for RSGs, with emphasis on small scale structures, from radiative-hydrodynamic (RHD) simulations of red supergiant stars (RSGs) carried out with CO5BOLD (Freytag et al ...

PORT, a CESM tool for the diagnosis of radiative forcing [PDF]
The Parallel Offline Radiative Transfer (PORT) model is a stand-alone tool, driven by model-generated datasets, that can be used for any radiation calculation that the underlying radiative transfer schemes can perform, such as diagnosing radiative ...

Radiative Transfer Modeling of Simulation and Observational Data [PDF]
AbstractRadiative Transfer (RT) is considered to be one of the four Grand Challenges in Computational Astrophysics aside of Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, N-Body Problems in Astrophysics, and Relativistic Astrophysics. The high dimensionality (7D instead of 4D for MHD) and the underlying integro-differential transport equation have forced coders to ...
