3D radiative transfer with continuum and line scattering in low arbitrary velocity fields.
Abstract
With the increasing computer power of modern supercomputers, full 3D radiative transfer calculations with scattering is becoming more and more feasible. The PHOENIX/3D code is a first step towards realistic 3D model atmospheres with scattering in the line and the continuum. Numerous 3D hydro-dynamical codes exist, for example the FLASH or the CO5BOLD, which can calculate 3D hydro-dynamical structures for, e.g., the Sun. This work concentrates on bringing the two approaches together in the sense of doing realistic, time-independent, radiative transfer with line scattering under considerations of the intrisitc velocity fields in a snapshot of the 3D hydro structure.
