Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the lime code used for?

  The code uses unstructured 3D Delaunay grids for photon transport and accelerated Lambda Iteration for population calculations. LIME was developed for the purpose of predicting the emission signature of low-mass young stellar objects, including molecular envelopes and protoplanetary disks.

• What are the hardware requirements for lime to run?

  Although it is not strictly needed for LIME to run, it is useful to have some kind of software that can process FITS files (IDL, CASA, MIRIAD, etc.) in order to be able to extract science results from the model images. There are no specific hardware requirements for LIME to run.

• Are the results given by lime always correct?

  We, the authors and maintainers of LIME, do not guarantee that results given by LIME are correct, nor can we be held responsible for erroneous results. We do not claim that LIME is perfect or free of bugs and therefore the user should always take utmost care when drawing scientific conclusions based on results obtained with LIME.

• How do I change lime default behaviour without editing the source code?

  Starting with LIME 1.5, command line options can be used to change LIME default behaviour without editing the source code. LIME accepts several command line options: Use fast exponential computation.

• Where can I find the source code for lime?

  The LIME code can be obtained from gitHub at https://github.com/lime-rt/lime. The available files include the source code, this documentation, and an example model. We recommend that you obtain the latest numbered release from https://github.com/lime-rt/lime/releases rather than the master track version.

• What are the hardware requirements for lime to run?

  Although it is not strictly needed for LIME to run, it is useful to have some kind of software that can process FITS files (IDL, CASA, MIRIAD, etc.) in order to be able to extract science results from the model images. There are no specific hardware requirements for LIME to run.

• What are the limitations of the lime code?

  As opposed to most other line radiation transfer codes which are constrained by cylindrical or spherical symmetry, LIME, being a 3D code, does not impose any such geometrical constraints. The main limitation therefore to what can be done with LIME is the availability of input models.
