DustEM

DustEM is a numerical tool that computes the extinction, the emission, and the polarisation of interstellar dust grains heated by photons. It is written in fortran 95 and is jointly developed by the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS) and Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP).

THEMIS

The interstellar dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids) developed at IAS takes a global view of dust and its evolution in response to the local conditions in interstellar media.

The Astronomical Convolution Kernel repository

Convolution kernels for common instrumental PSFs (including JWST, Herschel, Spitzer, Planck). These kernels facilitate analysis by transforming images from different telescopes so that they share a common PSF. Each pixel in the convolved images will observe the same sky region across the different instruments. 

ISM Services

The ISM Services Platform is a network of numerical services (including DustEM and DustEMWrap) for the preparation and interpretation of observations of the interstellar medium and of astrophysical jets. It provides access to several state-of-the-art numerical codes such as the Meudon PDR code, databases of pre-computed numerical simulations and tools to analyze the results. 

Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS)

The DustEM team is mostly located at the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS), a laboratory of the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS) and of the University of Paris-Saclay.

Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planetologie (IRAP)

The DustEMWrap team is mostly located at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planetologie (IRAP), a laboratory of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paul Sabatier University – Toulouse III (UPS), and the National Center for Space Studies (CNES) . It is also a member of the Midi-Pyrénées Observatory (OMP).
