Description

Python is a (confusingly named) Monte Carlo radiative transfer code which uses the Sobolev approximation. It has been developed by Knox Long, Christian Knigge, Stuart Sim, Nick Higginbottom, James Matthews and Sam Mangham. The code has been used for a variety of research projects invovling the winds of cataclysmic variables, of young stellar objects, and of AGN. The code is under active development, but we are looking for beta users to test the code, and potentially use it for their own research.
