With the recent improvements in available observational data, simulating the radiative processes in YSO jets will provide a valuable tool for model discrimination. We have added a radiative cooling module and time-dependent ionization state computation for 29 ion species to our MHD code PLUTO. Also, post-processing routines for the realistic computation of emission lines are now available. From 2D simulations, synthetic surface brightness maps and position-velocity diagrams for the line emissions can be directly computed, to be compared with observations.

Abstract
With the recent improvements in available observational data, simulating the radiative processes in YSO jets will provide a valuable tool for model discrimination. We have added a radiative cooling module and time-dependent ionization state computation for 29 ion species to our MHD code PLUTO. Also, post-processing routines for the realistic computation of emission lines are now available. From 2D simulations, synthetic surface brightness maps and position-velocity diagrams for the line emissions can be directly computed, to be compared with observations.
