<h2>Wolfire/Kaufman Models</h2>
<p class="myp">
The Wolfire/Kaufman models are primarily based on the work of
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985ApJ...291..722T/abstract">
Tielens & Hollenbach 1985;
</a>
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1990ApJ...358..116W/abstract">
Wolfire et al. 1990;
</a>
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1991ApJ...377..192H/abstract">
Hollenbach et al. 1991;
</a>
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999ApJ...527..795K/abstract">
Kaufman et al. 1999</a>;
and
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006ApJ...644..283K/abstract">Kaufman et al. 2006</a>.
For a given set of gas phase elemental abundances and grain properties,
each model is described by a constant H nucleus number density,
<span class="math">\(n\)</span>, or constant thermal pressure,
<span class="math">\(P_{th}\)</span>,
and incident far-ultraviolet intensity
<span class="math">\(G_0\)</span>.
The models solve for the
chemical balance, thermal equilibrium, and radiation transfer through
a PDR layer. Our treatment updates previous results
to use recent values of atomic and molecular data, current chemical
rate coefficients, and grain photolectric heating rates.
There are two versions of the "WK" model data sets ("ModelSets") available: 2006 and 2020. We recommend you use the 2020 version as they contain updated physics and chemistry.
There are a number model data sets ("ModelSets") currently available in PDR Toolbox.
The Wolfire/Kaufman constant density ModelSets present spectral line and continuum intensity ratios
as a function of
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(G_0\)</span> and
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span>.
In a future release, we will add
constant thermal pressure ModelSets which present the intensity ratios as a function of
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(G_0\)</span>
and thermal pressure <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(P_{th}\)</span>.
The PDR Toolbox can also support <a class="mya" href="#alternate">importing the external models of your choice</a>, provided they are stored in the right format.
</p>
<p class="myp">
The ratio plots are used to determine the beam averaged values of
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(G_0\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span>.
Note that <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span> is the H nucleus density (cm<sup>-3</sup>).
so that the maximum abundance of H<sub>2</sub>, for example, is
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n(H_2)= 0.5~n\)</span>.
The values of <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(G_0\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span>
are obtained by <a class="mya" href="http://pdrtpy.readthedocs.io">fitting the observations to the model space.</a>
Required are at least
two observations of line intensity ratios or
one line intensity ratio and the ratio of the [C II] + [O I]
intensity to the infrared dust continuum emission <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(I_{FIR}\)</span>.
More than two observed ratios will of course do a better job of determining unique <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(G_0\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span>.
<p class="myp">
<b><i>Note:</i></b>
In the Wolfire/Kaufman models, the FIR continuum includes all of the dust emission (including that from PAHs) from 8 μm to 1 mm. This is sometimes called the TIR in the literature rather than FIR.
</p>
<!-- We have also provided
a diagnostic plot combining the [C II]/[O I] and ([C II]+[O I])/FIR
ratios as in Wolfire, Tielens, & Hollenbach 1990.
-->
</p>
<p class="myp">
It is important
to correct for the different beam area filling factors for various species.
For example, diffuse [C II] emission may fill the observing beam whereas
[O I] emission may arise from a smaller, high density and high temperature
region. In such a case, it would not be appropriate to take the ratio
of observed fluxes for fitting. Instead the ratio of intensities
should be used or the ratio of fluxes corrected for the separate emitting
solid angles. Note also that the ([C II] + [O I])/<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(I_{FIR}\)</span> model ratios
are for a single face-on PDR. For the case of active regions of galaxies,
or where there may be many clouds contained within the beam,
the FIR continuum is observed from both the near and far side of the cloud.
Thus, the observed ratio should be multiplied by a factor 2 (or
equivalently the model values should be divided by 2).

<h4>2020 Models</h4>
<p class="myp">
In <a class="mya" href="https://pdrtpy.readthedocs.io">pdrtpy</a>, these are referred to as the <i>wk2020</i> ModelSet.
<p class="myp">
These model data start with the 2006 PDR model code and add improved physics and chemistry. Critical updates include those discussed in
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016ApJ...826..183N/abstract">Neufeld & Wolfire 2016</a>, plus photo rates from
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017A%26A...602A.105H/abstract">Heays et al. 2017</a>, oxygen chemistry rates from
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...856..100K/abstract">Kovalenko et al. 2018</a> and
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018ApJ...854...25T/abstract">Tran et al. 2018</a>,
and carbon chemistry rates from
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019MNRAS.487.3427D/abstract">Dagdigian 2019</a>. We have also implemented new collisional
excitation rates for [O I] from
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018MNRAS.474.2313L/abstract">Lique et al. 2018</a> (and Lique private
communication) and have included <sup>13</sup>C chemistry along with the
emitted line intensities for [<sup>13</sup>C II] and <sup>13</sup>CO. In Box 1, we show the currently available spectral lines and those we expect to deploy later in the project. In addition, we will compute ModelSets for a full range of metallicity <span class="math">\(Z\)</span>.

<b><u>Alternate Viewing Angle Models</u></b>
<br>
The viewing angle models calculate the emitted line intensity along a line-of-sight
at angle, <span class="math">\(\theta\)</span>, with respect to the illuminated face of the PDR. The
angle <span class="math">\(\theta=0 \)</span> is a line that is perpendicular to the face while the
angle <span class="math">\(\theta=90\)</span> is a line that is parallel to the face.
The line intensity
for each transition as well as the integrated far-infrared intensity
is calculated as in Pabst et al. 2017, A&A, 606, A29. We make the
assumption that each line of sight passes through all layers of the PDR
to an optical depth of <span class="math">\(A_v=7\)</span> from the face. This means that the integral
along the line-of-sight as well as <span class="math">\(A_v\)</span>
increases as <span class="math">\(7/cos(\theta)\)</span>,
and the thickness of the PDR increases as
<span class="math">
\(7*tan(\theta)\)
</span>.
The user should keep in mind that this assumption may lead
to unrealistically large <span class="math">\(A_v\)</span> that should be checked against observations
if possible. The different angles and <span class="math">\(A_v\)</span>s are given in the FITS headers
as follows:
<ul>
<li class="myp">
<em>LOSANGLE</em> – angle in degrees with respect to illuminated face of PDR
</li>
<li class="myp">
<em>AV</em> – optical depth in magnitudes of visual extinction of PDR along a line
through the illuminated face to the deepest layers. All models are fixed at <span class="math">\(A_v=7\)</span>.
</li>
<li class="myp">
<em>AVPERP</em> – optical depth in magnitudes of visual extinction of the PDR
perpendicular to <span class="math">\(A_v\)</span>.
</li>
<li class="myp">
<em>AVLOS</em> – optical depth in magnitudes of visual extinction of the PDR along
the line-of-sight.
</li>
</ul>
Note that the face-on intensity is angle averaged over intensities
emitted from the PDR face as in
<a class="mya" href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985ApJ...291..722T/abstract">
Tielens & Hollenbach 1985;
</a>
but the angle-on intensity is the intensity along the ray at the given angle.

The
<a class="mya" href="https://markusroellig.github.io/research/KOSMA-tau/" >KOSMA-tau models</a>
This KOSMA-tau code was developed from an earlier PDR code, written
by A. Sternberg from Tel Aviv University in Israel (Sternberg &
Dalgarno 1989; Sternberg & Dalgarno 1995). His original code uses
a plane-parallel geometry and was updated to employ spherical geometry
(Gierens, Stutzki and Winnewisser 1992; Köster et al. 1994; Störzer,
Stutzki and Sternberg 1996; Zielinsky, Stutzki & Störzer 2000).
</p>
<p class="myp">
The KOSMA-tau models come in "clumpy" and "non-clumpy" variety, with 3.1
≤R<sub>V</sub> ≤ 5.5 depending on the model. For the non-clumpy
models, the mass parameter is the mass of the spherical clump. The
density profile and the mass determine the clump radius and the total
A<sub>V</sub> to the clump center. In the clumpy models there are three
mass parameters. The main mass parameter in the clumpy models is the total
(ensemble) mass of all clumps which are distributed according to a power
law with the mass range [M<sub>low</sub>, M<sub>up</sub>]. Typically the
upper and lower masses are fixed and the total mass is varied.

This feature is not fully implemented yet, but it can be used
with a little extra work on your part. To be imported in
to PDRT, model files must be in FITS format and must follow <a
class="mya" href="docs/PDRT_Model_Standards.pdf"> our given standards.</a>
If you would like to try and use alternate models, please <a class="mya" href="mailto:mpound@umd.edu">contact Marc Pound.</a>
