The TNG50-SKIRT Atlas: Spatially resolved synthetic galaxies from the ultraviolet to the submillimetre (DR2)

Maarten Baes, Paul Vauterin, Abdurro'uf +20

We present the second data release (DR2) of the TNG50-SKIRT Atlas (TSA), a library of synthetic, spatially resolved galaxy observables. The atlas is constructed by post-processing…

Disk mass and disk heating in the spiral galaxy NGC 3223

G. Gentile, C. Tydtgat, M. Baes +6

We present the stellar and gaseous kinematics of an Sb galaxy, NGC 3223, with the aim of determining the vertical and radial stellar velocity dispersion as a function of radius, wh…

Hierarchical octree and k-d tree grids for 3D radiative transfer simulations

W. Saftly, M. Baes, P. Camps

A crucial ingredient for numerically solving the 3D radiative transfer problem is the choice of the grid that discretizes the transfer medium. Many modern radiative transfer codes,…

Using 3D Voronoi grids in radiative transfer simulations

Peter Camps, Maarten Baes, Waad Saftly

Probing the structure of complex astrophysical objects requires effective three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation of the relevant radiative transfer (RT) processes. As with any…

Using hierarchical octrees in Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations

W. Saftly, P. Camps, M. Baes +4

A crucial aspect of 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer is the choice of the spatial grid used to partition the dusty medium. We critically investigate the use of octree grids in Mon…

Efficient 3D NLTE dust radiative transfer with SKIRT

Maarten Baes, Joris Verstappen, Ilse De Looze +5

We present an updated version of SKIRT, a 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code developed to simulate dusty galaxies. The main novel characteristics of the SKIRT code are the use…
