We carry out radiative transfer simulations for the [CII] emission of simulated galactic disks from the SILCC project.6 Here we present the integrated [CII] intensity map of a typical simulation which assumes solar neighbourhood conditions with ΣGAS = 10 M⊙/pc2 and a supernova rate of 15 SN/Myr with randomly distributed supernovae (SNe) at t = 50 Myr. We analyse the intensity profile which reveals different components. These are clearly distinguishable and trace cold, molecular as well as warm, outflowing gas. We find that [CII] is a promising tool to analyse the multi-phase structure of the ISM.
