  • Model channel maps from molecular line emission of discs by fitting intensity and rotation velocity
  • Analyse the disc's dynamics by modelling Keplerian motion, and optionally pressure support + self-gravity
  • Investigate the disc vertical structure by modelling front and back side emission surfaces
  • Compute moment maps that accurately capture complex line profile morphologies
  • Extract rotation curves, radial and meridional velocities, intensity, and line width profiles
  • Identify velocity and intensity substructures, and examine their coherence and degree of localisation
  • Support non-axisymmetric models; all attributes can be described in three-dimensional coordinates

Mining tools

Discminer offers a wide range of analysis and visualisation tools to fully explore the physical and dynamical structure of discs.

cube

  • Compute moment maps that accurately capture complex line profile morphologies.
  • Output moment maps include peak intensity, line width, line slope, and centroid velocity.
  • Easily clip, downsample, and convert data to brightness temperature units.
  • Quickly visualise model versus data channels and interactively extract spectra.

rail

  • Extract azimuthal and radial profiles of intensity, line width, and velocity from moment maps.
  • Compute rotation curves and decompose disc velocities into their three-dimensional components.
  • Identify large-scale structures and quantify their pitch angle, width, extent, and degree of coherence.

pick

  • Identify small-scale perturbations and estimate their degree of localisation.

plottools

  • Customise intensity channels, moments, and residual maps.
  • Use sky or disc projections interchangeably for improved visualisation of features.
  • Easily overlay disc geometry (considering orientation and vertical structure) onto any observable product.
  • Load in 1D profiles or 2D maps from external data e.g. to highlight the presence of dust substructures.
