[84.18] Modeling Line Profiles of Protostellar Collapse with Rotation

Minho Choi, and Neal J. Evans II (Department of Astronomy, The University of Texas at Austin)

We developed a two-dimensional radiative transfer code using the Monte Carlo method. This code assumes the cloud has an azimuthal symmetry. With this code, we generated several molecular line profiles from protostellar collapse models including rotation, and compared the result with observations.
