Work in Progress and Paper Ideas

tentative list of topics under current development:

  • Lambda Operator Radiative Transfer -> Peter

  • X-ray Radiative Transfer -> Peter/student N.N.; done Christian Rab

  • grain charges and photoelectric heating -> Wing-Fai (see dust_photoelectric_from_RT for a working test-version): August 2017, done,paper in preparation

  • grain charge in chemistry -> Wing-Fai Thi (to be coupled with alpha(ix,iz)): August 2017, done

  • hydrogen modelling including b-f and f-b -> Ian

  • cosmic-ray secondary UV chemistry -> Inga/German, done, published

  • H2 full-RT self-shielding -> Wing-Fai (01/09/2011: code written, no time to make detailed tests; 01/09/2012 see CO_selfshielding_from_RT)

  • C2H2, HCN chemistry -> Wing-Fai (01/09/2011: testing phase)

  • Computed CO self- C- shielding from Radiative Transfer -> Wing-Fai (22/09/2011: available for update, testing phase, see CO_selfshielding_from_RT)

  • CO ro-vib and UV fluorescent pumping -> Wing-Fai (01/09/2011: CO ro-vib done, UV part on the way); 16/09/2011: done see large_number_of_CO_levels, done, paper published

  • Tdust = Tdust(a) -> N.N.

  • better MCFOST-ProDiMo interface -> Christophe (01/09/2011 (WF): better MCFOST-ProDiMo ready, version 3 9/11/2012)

  • H2O ro-vibrational levels -> Wing-Fai (done, see H2O_rovibrational_cooling), done, many published papers use those levels (August 2017)

  • grain surface chemistry (H2O ice formation) include H2 formation -> Inga/Wing-Fai (01/09/2011: some codes implemented, tests performed, Inga is writting a report): done, H2O cold and warm surface chemistry (August 2017), paper submitted 9/8/2017

Paper-projects that use ProDiMo
