We describe URCHIN, a reverse ray tracing radiative transfer scheme optimised to model self-shielding from the post-reionisation ultraviolet (UV) background in cosmological simulations. The reverse ray tracing strategy provides several benefits over forward ray tracing codes including: (1) the preservation of adaptive density field resolution (2) completely uniform sampling of gas elements by rays; (3) the preservation of galilean invariance; (4) the ability to sample the UV background spectrum with hundreds of frequency bins; and (5) exact preservation of the input UV background spectrum and amplitude in optically thin gas. The implementation described here focuses on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). However, the method can be applied to any density field representation in which resolution elements admit ray intersection tests and can be associated with optical depths. We characterise the errors in our implementation in stages beginning with comparison to known analytic solutions and ending with a realistic model of the z = 3 cosmological UV background incident onto a suite of spherically symmetric models of gaseous galactic halos.
Electron-ion Bremsstrahlung (free-free) emission and absorption occur in many astrophysical plasmas for a wide range of physical conditions. This classical problem has been studied multiple times, and many analytical and numerical approximations exis
A long-standing problem of astrophysical research is how to simultaneously obtain spectra of thousands of sources randomly positioned in the field of view of a telescope. Digital Micromirror Devices, used as optical switches, provide a most powerful
One of the most computationally demanding aspects of the hydrodynamical modelling of Astrophysical phenomena is the transport of energy by radiation or relativistic particles. Physical processes involving energy transport are ubiquitous and of capita
Two of the most rapidly growing observables in cosmology and astrophysics are gravitational waves (GW) and the neutral hydrogen (HI) distribution. In this work, we investigate the cross-correlation between resolved gravitational wave detections and H
In high stakes applications such as healthcare and finance analytics, the interpretability of predictive models is required and necessary for domain practitioners to trust the predictions. Traditional machine learning models, e.g., logistic regressio
