Welcome to radmc3dPy!¶
radmc3dPy is a python package/user-interface to the 3D radiative transfer code RADMC-3D. radmc3dPy provides functionality to
- set up continuum and gas models
- handle a library of models (easyily extendable with user-defined models)
- read and write data files in ASCII and C-style binary format
- provide interface to the Mie-scattering code shipped with RADMC-3D to calculate dust opacities
- set up spherical or cartesian spatial grids both regular and octree AMR grids
- write legacy VTK format (spherical grids only)
- set up discrete and continuous starlike radiation sources
- read and display images (single or multiple frequency, i.e. continuum or line channel maps, total intensity or full 4D polarization, ASCII or C-style binary)
- write fits files (CASA-compatible fits headers)
- do simple image manipulations
- calculation of moment maps for line channel maps
- convolve image with a 2D Gaussian or an Airy-type psf
- add coronographic masks
- calculate interferometric visibilities of images for given projected baselines and position angles
