TARDIS uses a monte carlo method to propagate photon packets through a model of an exploded star. As these virtual packets move through the ejecta model they interact with the gas through absorption, emission, and scattering. TARDIS has the functionality to track the properties of the packets that are generated when running the Simulation. But currently, all this tracked data is stored as ASCII data. This project will build an interactive animated visualization tool so that scientists can see exactly how packets move through their models.
