Dust opacities #1

Open cagurto opened 8 years ago

For dust continuum radiative transfer RADMC-3D requires dust opacities, which are typically given in tabulated form as a function of wavelength (one line per wavelength point). For each wavelength point the absorption opacity (kappa_abs in units of cm^2/gram-of-dust) and the scattering opacity (kappa_scat in units of cm^2/gram-of-dust) is given, and perhaps also some information about the scattering phase function. We will test 4 different dust continuum opacities routines:

  1. Bohren and Huffman Routine for Mie Scattering (http://rime.aos.wisc.edu/MW/models/bhmie.shtml)
  2. Bohren & Huffman code modified by Draine
  3. DUST OPACITIES FROM OSSENKOPF & HENNING 1994 (https://hera.ph1.uni-koeln.de/~ossk/Jena/tables/)
  4. DUST OPACITIES USING THE JENA OPTICAL CONSTANTS DATABASE (http://www.astro.uni-jena.de/Laboratory/OCDB/index.html)
