Abstract
Using the radiative transfer code Torus, we produce spectral-line cubes of the predicted HI profile from global SPH simulations of spiral galaxies. Torus grids the SPH galaxy using Adaptive Mesh Refinement, then applies a ray-tracing method to infer the HI profile along the line(s) of sight. The gridded galaxy can be observed from any direction, which enables us to model the observed HI profile for galaxies of any orientation. We can also place the observer inside the galaxy, to simulate HI observations taken from the Earth's position in the Milky Way.
