Three-Dimensional Monte Carlo Simulations of Ionised Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
A three-dimensional self-consistent photo-ionisation code is developed using Monte Carlo techniques in order to build realistic models of photoionised nebulae of arbitrary geometry and density distribution. The code's results are benchmarked against those of estabilished codes. Two models are computed for the planetary nebula NGC 3918 using two different density distributions. The results of the two models are compared with the observations.
