Abstract
MC3D is a three-dimensional, self-consistent continuum radiative transfer code. It can be used to determine the spatial temperature distribution in arbitrary dust/electron configurations, such as around young stellar objects or active galactic nuclei. Based on this temperature distribution, MC3D allows calculation of polarization maps, images, and spectral energy distributions. We present the numerical techniques applied in this code, describe its capabilities, and show instructive examples of previous applications.
