The documentation of a clumpy PDR model.#

kosmatau3d is a clumpy photo-dissociation region (PDR) model built on the KOSMA-\(\tau\) PDR model from the Universität zu Köln and Tel Aviv University. It’s functionality and use in modelling the Galactic cooling lines in the Milky Way are explained in Yanitski (2023). It will soon be able to download its required data from the InterStellar Medium DataBase (ISMDB) hosted at the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon when their API is completed.

Caution

This documentation and the corresponding code are under active development. Please send all questions and issues to yanitski@ph1.uni-koeln.de.
