We present our ongoing studies of dilepton production within the UrQMD
transport approach, with focus on SIS energies. Resulting invariant
mass, transverse momentum and rapidity spectra for elementary and
heavy-ion collisions are compared to available data. Dilepton
contributions from the different production channels and respective
cross-sections are investigated in detail. A special focus is set on
the ρ-meson properties and its production, as it is assumed to
significantly change its spectral function in the medium. We also
calculated dilepton spectra using thermal emission from a coarse
grained version of UrQMD for heavy-ion collisions. For this we
accumulate an ensemble of events, determine local temperature and
chemical potential in small space-time cells and directly calculate
thermal emission rates. By this we avoid some problems of the hadronic
transport approach, as the restriction to two-particle processes and
baryon resonance interactions in the medium with unknown
cross-sections and branching ratios. The outcome is compared with the
pure transport results.
