binary_c in Barcelona

(hopefully) 10am-4pm Wednesday 19th June 2024, most likely in the 3.28 seminar room? (or perhaps the Pere Pascual V5.07 Room (5th floor)?!)

The binary_c software framework models the evolution of single, binary and multiple stars, including both stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis. It is designed for stellar population calculations, so is lightweight and versatile, and its support software contains tools for development and data analysis. binary_c is happy in standalone, virtual and HPC environments, so works perfectly when teaching or running on computing clusters.

This one-day course will teach you how to run binary_c to make and analyse individual stellar systems, and how to use the binary_c-python frontend to make both individual stars and whole stellar populations. Before we start, please try to download the binary_c and binary_c-python software from gitlab.com/binary_c. If you are running Ubuntu 22 or 24 you could try running this installer script. I'll post a link to a virtual machine here as soon as I have finished it :) Full documentation is at the binary_c docs and binary_c-python docs pages.
