This repository should provide an extended tool for the analysis of spectral data and the investigation of ices (frozen molecules) in proto-stellar envelopes and other cool environments.

The aim is the unification and optimization of pre-existing codes to create a unified routine to make radiative transfer modelling possible.

Input files: [add manually to the respective directory: /lab_data, /obs_data, /ref_data]

  • laboratory absorbance spectra of molecules at specific temperatures
    • data can be found in the LIDA-database [https://icedb.strw.leidenuniv.nl/]
    • the folder structure is adjusted to the format in which files can be downloaded from LIDA
  • flux of observational spectrum of the desired object
  • for reference: the absorbance spectra in the same form as the lab spectra

Output in different steps:

  • optical constants (n/k) for laboratory data
  • optical depth for molecules of choice
  • RADMC-3D modelling of selected source with the chosen laboratory data

Prequisitions: Included codes which require separate activation:

  • optool
  • RADMC-3D

the procedure for these codes can be found in the respective README-files in the folders 5/6.

General user manual:

  1. $git clone$ this repository to your local machine
  2. Activate the codes mentioned above
  3. Search and add the input files you wish to investigate
  4. Adjust the variables in the top-most parameter.py file to your setup of interest
  5. Open a terminal and run

$python3 run.sh$ this file executes the scripts (run.sh) in each folder which run the respective .py-files which are also creating the plots which can be found in the plots-folder.
