This directory contains PDF versions of the Quick Start Guide and Parts 1 and 2 of Hazy,
the documentation. This Quick Start Guide gives an overview. Part 1 gives a complete
list of all commands. Part 2 describes the output that is generated, shows how to extract observed quantities from the predictions, and explains how to call Cloudy as part
of a larger program.
Part 3, which is badly out of date at the time of this writing, describes
the physics behind the simulation. The past few years have seen many
expansions of the code's capabilities, especially in infrared emission,
molecular physics, dynamics and advective flows, and time dependent simulations.
Unfortunately, Part 3 of Hazy has not had a high enough
priority to be updated with available resources. I have not given up and
do intend to update this section eventually. For now, an ADS search on
"Ferland, G" will find the most recent papers that describe advances in the
physics.
The LaTeX source needed to build the documentation is included in \cdFilename{cloudy/docs/latex}.
The Perl script \cdFilename{CompileAll.pl} will compile all four parts of the documentation,
leaving PDF files in the appropriate subdirectories.
