SIROCCO: Simulating Ionization and Radiation in Outflows Created by Compact Objects
SIROCCO (Simulating Ionization and Radiation in Outflows Created by Compact Objects) simulates ionisation and radiative transfer in outflows created by compact objects using a Monte Carlo framework using the Sobolev approximation. Formerly known as Python and renamed in October 2024, the code models azimuthally-symmetric winds and computes photon-packet propagation through user-specified wind geometries. SIROCCO reads input parameter files and atomic-data tables and produces synthetic spectra and diagnostic tables of ionisation structure.
