Description | We present the current state of our 3-D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code for modelling the stellar wind of hot stars. The code uses the concept of indivisible energy packets proposed by Leon Lucy. Currently the code calculates the emergent spectrum of an input stellar wind model. The code is being developed to solve the NLTE line formation problem in a 3-D model of a stellar wind. |
