Documentation

Welcome to the Thor documentation. Thor is a GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer code for simulating resonant line emission through complex astrophysical environments.

  • High Performance

    Built with C++20 and SYCL for seamless execution on CPUs and GPUs. Run large-scale simulations on HPC clusters with MPI.

    Installation

  • Flexible Geometries

    Support for spherical shells, Voronoi meshes, and direct integration with cosmological simulation formats (TNG, FIRE, Simba).

    Datasets

  • Ray Tracing

    Physical ray tracing for projections, volume rendering, and absorption feature analysis alongside MCRT.
