User Guide¶

Please read carefully this wiki, which replaces any formal manual for ProDiMo, before asking one of the authors.

Disk models¶

The main purpose of ProDiMo is to run protoplanetary disk models. Below you will find a detailed user guide (including a beginners guide) on how to set up and run disk model with ProDiMo.

• Disk models
• Accelerate ProDiMo

Slab models¶

ProDiMo also includes an option to run more simple slab models. In those models usually properties such as density, chemical abundances or temperatures are input parameters. The Slab models then calculate line excitation and line spectra.

• 0D ProDiMo slab models
• 1D ProDiMo slab models

Molecular cloud models¶

If you are mainly interested in the chemistry and you want to e.g. test a special chemical network, molecular cloud models might be useful.

• 0D molecular cloud models

Analysis and Fitting (post-processing)¶

• Analysing the chemistry
• Debugging_with_slot_keep
• Automatic fitting of model parameters to observations
• mid-IR spectra using either all line fluxes based on escape probability, or with the the fast IR ray-tracer FLiTs (Michiel Min).
• Fitting stellar parameters and $E_\mathrm{(B-V)}$ from observations

Physical input data¶

• Stellar Spectra - Theoretical Stellar Input Spectra.
• Dust opacities - Optical Constants for dust grains
• Element abundances - Element Abundances
• Chemical rates - Chemical Networks
• Atomic and molecular data - Line excitation

MCFOST users¶

• Some documentation on the ProDiMo<->MCFOST interface

Ratran users¶

• See how to calculate gas emission lines with RATRAN here.

Parameter Index¶

In the Parameter index you find a alphabetical list of all ProDiMo parameters and where they are mentioned in the documentation. Although all parameters are listed, not all of them are mentioned in the documentation yet.
