Circumbinary Disks

Here is a lovely picture of a synthetic IR map of a circumbinary disks. I run an SPH simulation modelling the evolution of a CB disks and give the resulting surface density profile to Jean-Louis Monin, who runs the results through his radiative transfer code (scattered light only), and images like this result. This is actually an old test we did back in 1995. New ones to follow real soon...
