„Scattered light images of dust and what they say about the properties of dust in disks“

For this lecture, you will need a Fortran compiler (gfortran is recommended) and a python 3
installation on your computer. Then download the following:

SAOimage ds9
https://sites.google.com/cfa.harvard.edu/saoimageds9
Please install the image display soCware. Also get the following file: HD135344B and try to make it look similar to this in the viewer

OpTool dust opacity software
https://github.com/cdominik/optool.git
Download and install as shown in the Userguide. Check it out by typing these commands
ipython
import optool
p=optool.particle(‘./optool –d –s’)
p.plot()
and check out the plots popping up, play with the parameter bars.

Diskmap software for scattering angle mapping
https://github.com/tomasstolker/diskmap.git

Install it on your computer. You may look at the tutorial, but this is not required as we will do this at the school.
