The TORUS 3D Radiative Transfer Code
TORUS is a Monte-Carlo radiative-transfer code that is designed to
compute polarization images and spectra from a three-dimensional
opacity grid. The code's main features are
- Written in f90 using modular techniques
- Based on a three-dimensional opacity grid (AMR. spherical polar or cartesian)
- Mie, Rayleigh, Thomson, and Raman scattering included
- Line-transfer in the Sobolev approximation, with non-monotonic
velocity fields
- Polarization state of photons followed
- Computes images and spectra simultaneously
TORUS is being applied to a variety of astrophysical objects:
I am always interested in collaborating with colleagues who wish to
apply TORUS to their objects. Please feel free to
e-mail.
