DUSTY -- Radiation transfer through dust
--
DUSTY calculates the emerging spectrum of radiation from some source viewed after processing by a dusty region. The original radiation is scattered, absorbed & reemitted by the dust, and the emerging processed spectrum often gives the only available information about the embedded object. DUSTY can handle both planar & centrally-heated spherical density distributions. The number of independent input model parameters is minimized by fully implementing the scaling properties of the radiative transfer problem, & the spatial temperature profile is found from radiative equilibrium at every point in the dusty region. DUSTY has built in optical properties for the most common types of astronomical dust & comes with a library for many other grains.
