Radiative transfer with POLARIS

Abstract: Aims. We present POLARIS (POLArized RadIation Simulator), a newly developed three-dimensional Monte-Carlo radiative transfer code. POLARIS was designed to calculate dust temperature, polarization maps, and spectral energy distributions. It is optimized to handle data that results from sophisticated magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. The main purpose of the code is to prepare and analyze multi-wavelength continuum polarization measurements in the context of magnetic field studies in the interstellar medium. An e… Show more

“…Even some single stars show similar effects (e.g., RXJ1604.3-2130, Pinilla et al 2018). We perform the radiative transfer simulations with the RT code POLARIS (Reissl et al 2016;Brauer et al 2017), which was recently updated to consider complex structures of circumstellar disks (Brauer et al in prep. ).…”

“…To investigate if the mechanism would work in the much denser circumstellar environment we need to compare the alignment timescale, given by the Larmor precession timescale, with the timescale set by gas-dust interaction (e.g. Hoang & Lazarian 2009;Reissl et al 2016). This comparison yields a lower limit for the magnetic field strength that, following Hoang & Lazarian (2009), can be written as:…”

“…We apply the three-dimensional continuum RT code POLARIS (POLArized RadIation Simulator, Reissl et al 2016). This solves the radiative transfer problem self-consistently with the Monte Carlo method, and it considers magnetic fields as well as various dust grain alignment mechanisms.…”

“…Furthermore, we vary selected parameters, such as dust grain size and density distribution, to cover different kinds of Bok globules and investigate the impact of such parameters on the answer of our key question. Based on our model of a Bok globule, we perform continuum radiative transfer simulations in the submm/mm regime with the radiative transfer code POLARIS (POLArized RadIation Simulator, Reissl et al 2016) which is able to consider magnetic fields and the dust grain alignment mechanisms mentioned above. From POLARIS, we obtain intensity and polarization maps to investigate a potential decrease in the degree of polarization.…”
