Search Results for "interstellar"

...This program computes the spectrum and angular distribution of this emission. The software also includes general-purpose routines for inverse Compton scattering on a given electron spectrum, for example for interstellar or astrophysical source modelling. For further information see these publications: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0607563, http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.2178, http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.2093, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013NuPhS.239..266O and this conference presentation: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/130879399/poster_symposium_sun_2012.pdf and the corresponding conference paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6798 2017 June 16: now available from gitlab https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/aws/stellarics which will be used for future develpments.

Cosmic-ray hadronic interaction matrices for gamma-ray and other secondaries for an interstellar medium target are available as described in Huang et al. Astroparticle Physics, 27, 429 (2007). These require significant effort in practice to compute emissivities for given input spectra. To supplement these matrices I provide here a C++ class which reads the matrices, interpolates on user-defined particle and gamma-ray energy grids, and computes the gamma-ray emissivity either differential or in user-defined bands. ...

...In addition, it can show the CMD of a large number of existing open clusters, based on scientific survey data, and overlay isochrones (the curve in a CMD from stars born at the same time) to determine the age, distance and interstellar reddening of the cluster. Determining these parameters can be done automatically with a global search algorithm (more specifically a genetic algorithm). This program requires the installation of the libfgen package, also available on SourceForge.
