Radiative magneto-hydrodynamics in massive star formation and accretion disks
Abstract
We briefly overview our newly developed radiation transport module for MHD simulations and two actual applications. The method combines the advantage of the speed of the Flux-Limited Diffusion approximation and the high accuracy obtained in ray-tracing methods.
