READ ME File For 'Dataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral thesis: Shining Lights, Even in Death: Modelling the Optical and Ultraviolet Emission from Tidal Disruption Events' Dataset DOI: 10.5258/SOTON/D2201 ReadMe Author: Edward John Parkinson, University of Southampton ORCID ID: 0000-0003-3902-052X This dataset supports the thesis entitled Shining Lights, Even in Death: Modelling the Optical and Ultraviolet Emission from Tidal Disruption Events AWARDED BY: Univeristy of Southampton DATE OF AWARD: May 2022 DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA [This should include a detailed description of the data, how it was collected/created, any specialist software needed to view the data] This dataset contains: Provided in the data set are the parameter file required to run the simulations yourself, as well as the raw data that was output from the simulation software. This includes the synthetic spectra (.spec, .log_spec, .spec_tot, etc) and tables of wind variables in ASCII format. In some cases scripts have been provided to re-generate figures created for the thesis using the data provided in this repository. Additional software will be required in some cases to use these script, which can be found at https://github.com/saultyevil/pypython and https://github.com/agnwinds/python.
