The Versatile Software for Transfer of Atmospheric Radiation (VSTAR) code is a portable and versatile package, which solves the radiative transfer problem for a plane-parallel atmosphere with the line-by-line treatment of molecular and atomic absorption. The code has a modular structure, which allows treatment of spectral line absorption using a database of more than 1.6 billion spectral lines. It includes full treatment of scattering processes and radiative transfer solvers. VSTAR package can be used to model hot and cool atmospheres of planets, brown dwarfs and cool stars.
We present examples of the application of VSTAR to model spectra and polarization curves as a function of phase angle for hot-Jupiter type exoplanets.
