Running RT-synth

Before running RT-synth, make sure that the output directory specified in the parameters file exists (e.g. simsRTsynth/). Execute RT-synth as follows:

cd RT-synth
make clean; make
cd ..
./RTsynth

or specify a particular parameters file as:

./RTsynth -p=paramsUser.dat

Outputs

All outputs are written in the simsRTsynth directory specified in the RT-synth parameters file. In particular:

  • RT_[prefix]_[los_direction]_cds.dat: Column densities (H₂, HI, C⁺, C, CO, HCO⁺, total)

  • RT_[prefix]_[los_direction]_[line].dat: Velocity-integrated maps

  • RT_vel_[prefix]_[los_direction]_[line].dat: Radiation temperature per velocity channel

  • RT_tau_[prefix]_[los_direction]_[line].dat: Optical depth per velocity channel
