Abstract
MetalCRASH is a new variant of the cosmological radiative transfer code CRASH[1 -4] . MetalCRASH extends the classical treatment of the cosmological gas composed by H and He to the most relevant metals (C,O,Si) observed in the IGM. The new software is implemented as a pipeline, integrating the radiative transfer capabilities of CRASH with the photoionization code Cloudy[7] . The reliability and applicability of the method is discussed in the context of one idealized test. A real application is presented to show the rich set of metal ionization states provided by MetalCRASH.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
