possis: predicting spectra, light curves, and polarization for multidimensional models of supernovae and kilonovae
We present POSSIS, a time-dependent three-dimensional Monte Carlo code for modelling radiation transport in supernovae and kilonovae. The code incorporates wavelength- and time-dependent opacities and predicts viewing-angle dependent spectra, light curves and polarization for both idealized and hydrodynamical explosion models. We apply the code to a kilonova model with two …
