Radiative transfer modeling of protoplanetary disks

pdspy: A MCMC Tool for Continuum and Spectral Line Radiative Transfer Modeling

Welcome to the GitHub page for pdspy! This code is meant to fit Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer models for protostellar/protoplanetary disks to ALMA continuum and spectral line datasets using Markov Chain Monte Carlo fitting.

Further capabilities (e.g. fitting spectral line data with a radiative equilibrium calculation) are being developed. If you are interested in new features, do let me know and I would be happy to either add them myself, or to work with you to add them. The documentation is currently included below, but will be ported to a more extensive, better laid out format soon.

If you are interested in making use of the code, please check out the documentation.

For more extensive details on what the code does, please see these papers:

• Disk Masses for Embedded Class I Protostars in the Taurus Molecular Cloud
• High-precision Dynamical Masses of Pre-main-sequence Stars with ALMA and Gaia

If you have any questions about using the code (or this documentation), requests for features, or suggestions for improvement, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
