Behind the scenes: Physics of TARDIS

Warning

This section of the TARDIS documentation is still incomplete

This part of the documentation is dedicated to providing some physical and astrophysical background for TARDIS. If you do not find the information you are looking for, consult the official TARDIS publications and the references therein.

Eventually, information about the following topics will be provided

• Spectral Synthesis in SNe Ia ejecta

• Radiative Transfer Primer

• Reference Frames

• Nuclear Decay

• TARDIS Simulation Procedure

• Plasma State Calculation

Currently some information are available for

• Plasma
  • Properties, Inputs and Outputs
  • The Plasma Graph
  • Updating the Plasma

Old Physics Section of the TARDIS Docu (Outdated)
