abstract

This is a summary of the 2013 release of the plasma simulation code Cloudy. Cloudy models the ionization, chemical, and thermal state of material that may be exposed to an external radiation field or other source of heating, and predicts observables such as emission and absorption spectra. It works in terms of elementary processes, so is not limited to any particular temperature or density regime. This paper summarizes advances made since the last major review in 1998. Much of the recent development has emphasized dusty molecular environments, improvements to the ionization / chemistry solvers, and how atomic and molecular data are used. We present two types of simulations to demonstrate the capability of the code. We consider a molecular cloud irradiated by an X-ray source such as an Active Nucleus and show how treating EUV recombination lines and the full SED affects the observed spectrum. A second example illustrates the very wide range of particle and radiation density that can be considered.

The LMC Corona Favors a First Passage

astro-ph.GA · 2025-10-03 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Idealized simulations with live gas particles show the LMC corona's present-day velocity and column density profiles match a first-passage orbit but are too low in a second-passage orbit, yielding truncation radii of 16.6 kpc versus 5.7 kpc and strongly disfavoring the latter.

Stellar feedback SPICEs up [C II] emission in the first galaxies

astro-ph.GA · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Simulations find [C II] traces star formation robustly but underestimates outflow speeds and mass-loading factors by factors of 2-5, with feedback type affecting disk settling but not distinguishable from [C II] spatial or spectral properties alone.
