ExoClouds - ARCiS

ARCiS is currently still under construction. The concepts of the code will be described in a series of papers. (see publication page)

The data directory has to be in ($HOME)/ARCiS/Data for ARCiS to find it.
To download data files, please follow the link below.

ARCiS is available on git:

https://github.com/michielmin/ARCiS

It is adviced to follow the instructions for installation in the Userguide.

Python module written by Chris Ormel. Details on the method used are presented in this paper.

A fortran package to compute the DIANA standard dust opacities can be downloaded from the DIANA website.

EXOTiC (the Efficient eXomol OpaciTy Calculator) is a code to compute molecular opacities from linelists as generated by the ExoMol project. The code uses statistical line sampling to perform the computations of the Voigt profile for all lines. The computations performed by the code are well tested, however the user interface and the procedure on how to perform the computations is still somewhat user-unfriendly. The code is available on a collaborative basis.

Fortran program by P. Woitke for robust computations of equilibrium chemistry for a broad range of temperatures. Also includes condensation species. The code is fully described in this paper.

Fortran program based on the opacity tool, but extended and made more flexible and user friendly by Carsten Dominik. Can be downloaded from https://github.com/cdominik/optool

MCMax is a Monte Carlo radiative transfer and disk modelling tool. It sets up a disk structure using physical processes or a parameterised structure. Physics like hydrostatic equilibrium, dust settling, evaporation and recondensation, are all included. Also transiently heated grains, like PAHs, can be modelled. The radiative transfer is performed to determine the temperature structure and the observables. Also, the output can be passed to the photo-chemical code ProDiMo to compute gas temperatures and line diagnostics.

MCMax is mostly applied to modelling protoplanetary disks, but also has been used for debris disks, disks around evolved stars, AGB outflows and molecular clouds.

MCMax3D is a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code in 3D. It basically is a 3D version of MCMax with a slightly more modern setup and interface. It sets up a disk structure using a parameterised structure. The setup is such that one can define different zones that all have their own grid. These zones can be positioned independently in space. Thus one can create inclined inner disks, but also eccentric disks or zones that have a star not in the center. There is also the possibility for multiple stars and spiral density waves. The radiative transfer is performed to determine the temperature structure and the observables.

A Mac binary and example input files are available for download. You can drop Michiel Min an email to ask for the login code.

FLiTs is the Fast Line Tracer; a line raytracer build to compute the molecular lines emerging from protoplanetary disks. It is made to work together with ProDiMo. It can compute quickly many molecular lines in the infrared taking into account the rotation of the disk and possible line-blending effects. FLiTs is available by contacting me.
