Data from "Short-Lived Gravitational Instability in Isolated Irradiated Discs"

The paper by Rowther et al. (2024) simulates the evolution of irradiated gravitationally unstable protoplanetary discs with live radiative transfer using Phantom (Price et al. 2018) coupled with MCFOST (Pinte et al. 2006, 2009). The codes used to perform the simulations are available at 

• Phantom -- https://github.com/danieljprice/phantom
• MCFOST -- https://github.com/cpinte/mcfost

The dataset contains the following data to recreate any of the figures:

1. Selected snapshots of the 5 simulations shown in the paper. 
2. Post-processed data to recreate the line-plots shown in the paper.
3. .fits files of the synthetic continuum images created by post-processing the simulation snapshot with MCFOST at 1.3mm.

To recreate any of the simulations in the paper, all relevant files required are in Simulations.zip.

• .setup: The file used by phantomsetup to create the initial conditions of the disc.
• .in: The file used by phantom to perform the simulation.
• .para: A file containing the parameters used by MCFOST to perform the Radiative Transfer calculations.
• The files for the 0.1 Solar mass disc can be identified by the prefix Md0p1. Similarly, the prefix Md0p25 identifies the files for 0.25 Solar mass disc.

The data to recreate any of the figures in the paper are found in Figure_*.zip.

The binary code snapshots (Md0p1_01400, Md0p25_00300 etc.) containing the raw data (particle positions, velocities, thermal energy etc.) can be visualised by Splash (Price 2007) or Sarracen (Harris & Tricco 2023). The latter was used to create the figures in the paper.
