Discs of gas and dust around million-year-old stars are a by-product of the star formation
process and provide the raw material to form planets. Hence, their evolution and dispersal …

Cosmic dust is present in many astrophysical objects, and recent observations across the
electromagnetic spectrum show that the dust distribution is often strongly three-dimensional …

The open source SKIRT Monte Carlo radiative transfer code has been used for more than 15
years to model the interaction between radiation and dust in various astrophysical systems …

Submillimetre-bright galaxies at high redshift are the most luminous, heavily star-forming
galaxies in the Universe and are characterized by prodigious emission in the far-infrared …

Context. Emission lines from protoplanetary disks originate mainly in the irradiated surface
layers, where the gas is generally warmer than the dust. Therefore, interpreting emission …

We present an updated version of SKIRT, a three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo radiative
transfer code developed to simulate dusty galaxies. The main novel characteristics of the …

Aims. We present a new continuum 3D radiative transfer code, MCFOST, based on a Monte-
Carlo method. MCFOST can be used to calculate (i) monochromatic images in scattered …

We present radiation hydrodynamic simulations of the collapse of massive pre-stellar cores.
We treat frequency-dependent radiative feedback from stellar evolution and accretion …

We utilize ALMA archival data to estimate the dust disk size of 152 protoplanetary disks in
Lupus (1–3 Myr), Chamaeleon I (2–3 Myr), and Upper-Sco (5–11 Myr). We combine our …

Aims. Solving the continuum radiative transfer equation in high opacity media requires
sophisticated numerical tools. In order to test the reliability of such tools, we present a …
