AggScatVIR stands for AGGregate SCATtering at Visual and InfraRed wavelengths. This project aims to provide the optical properties of complex-shaped dust particles that can be used to interpret scattered light observations of circumstellar disks (such as protoplanetary disks and debris disks) at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The database consists of the scattering matrix and opacity of various dust particles studied in Tazaki & Dominik (2022) and Tazaki, Ginski, and Dominik (2023). A simple python package aggscatpy for analyzing the database is provided as well.
Pease read the documentation for a detailed description.
You can download AggScatVIR via
git clone https://github.com/rtazaki1205/AggScatVIR.git
If you would like to use our python package aggscatpy, enter the python directory in the database and run
pip install -e .
