Hi, my work consists of modelling a sample of Planetary Nebulae, I also need the prediction for the radio continuum flux. 1. Which version of Cloudy do I have...
Hello, I have been trying to reproduce Pequignot et al. 2001 CLOUDY values for the thin x-ray model. The conversion that I am using for the x-ray ionization...
... these are the sims agn_lex00_*.in in the test suite / auto directory. the atomic data have changed since the 2000 meeting. dielectronic recombination...
Greetings ... you should always use the current stable version. This year it is version C07.02 ... it predicts the full spectrum. I would look at the quick...
Hi, I'm not able to access the ftp site where the file stars.tar.gz is located. I'm still using the old Cloudy, c06_02, so I'm following the instructions on...
Dear Valentina, There must have been some mishap in the upgrade to version c07_02 of the code. We have replaced the old stellar atmosphere files. The correct...
Hello, I have a question regarding density law and filling factor. I would like to combine the two in my Cloudy calculations, does it make a physical sense? In...
... Hi Ania You are right that combining the two can be done on an empirical basis. The code will treat the microphysics and radiative transfer correctly. ...
Just a caution here. If the radio emission from a Cloudy PN model is optically thin then the code calculates it properly. However at high enough densities or...
Hi Kevin, This is a well known problem. The bottom line is that you can get the correct answer for optically thick conditions only by using exact radiative...
Hi, I recently update to c07 and the way I was automaticaly reading the output files in Cloudy_3D doesn't work anymore. I realized that some of the formats...
Hi Christophe all of the punch output is moving over to tab delimited fields. This makes it much easier to deal with the data from the command prompt, since...
Hi, Following with the surprises I meet since the upgrade to c07_02, I found that the Sulphur lines are changed by a big factor. [SII] is strongly decreased...
Hi Christophe actually Jan Simpson asked the same question a few days ago ... The S ions are from Badnell ApJ, 379, 356. They are listed down to log T = 4.5...
Thanks Gary for the tip to print out the coeffs. The c07_2 Cloudy answer is: nelem=15 SULP, RR then DR -1.00e+00 -1.00e+00 -1.00e+00 -1.00e+00 5.52e-12...
Thanks a lot Yuan, I think that this is more one time a proof that ISM is sometimes the best way to determine atomic phuysics parameters.... Cheers, Christophe...
There are still something not clear for me in the output of the RR and DR coefficients. From what I undestood, to compare between c06 and c07 (resp), one must ...
Hi there, Here is what is going on. I would especially appreciate hearing what Christophe, Yuan, and Jan think. The plan is for all DR and RR data to...
Hi Gary, Thanks a lot for this clear message about the DR coeffs and the difficulties we all meet using them! I think this is always a good idea to add options...
Hi Gary and Christophe, Thanks for sharing your ideas. I am concerned about the effects on the model results caused by the uncertainties of the DR of...
Greetings, A release candidate for C07.02.01, a bugfix roll up of C07.02, is posted on the ftp site. It is available only as a large tarball under the...
Hi Gary, Some years ago you helped me construct a diagnostic ratio of Brgamma to FIR (C90, FIR=total 40um to 250 um). I was analyzing an HII region in the...
... the continuum bands are controlled by the bands_continuum.dat file in the data directory. You could change the FIR definition back to the old value and...
Hi Gary, Thanks. By version, I assume you mean c90 and c70.02. I will run a comparison. The difference shouldn't be in the bands because the newer band...
Something major must be changing to cause what you see. Check the geometry. it is possible that the old models were plane parallel and the new ones are...
Hi, Does Cloudy include in calculation L-shell iron lines? There seems to be an iron line of this kind (around 1.61 keV) in my data and I can't model it with...
