We present a WWW-version of the {\it Scenario Machine} - a computer code designed to calculate the evolution of close binary stellar systems. The Internet users can directly access to the code and calculate binary evolutionary tracks with…
We briefly describe different astrophysical applications of a population synthesis method. In some details we discuss the population synthesis of close binary systems and of isolated neutron stars.
Using the ``Scenario Machine'' we have carried out a population synthesis of X-ray binaries for the purpose of modelling of X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) in different types of galaxies: star burst, spiral, and elliptical. This computer…
X-ray binary population at the Galactic center is proposed here to form as a result of a starburst, which is synthesized by using the ``Scenario Machine'' code of binary star evolution. For the currently assumed starburst age of 4-7…
We first give a short historical overview with some key facts of massive star population synthesis with binaries. We then discuss binary population codes and focus on two ingredients which are important for massive star population synthesis…
Many aspects of the evolution of stars, and in particular the evolution of binary stars, remain beyond our ability to model them in detail. Instead, we rely on observations to guide our often phenomenological models and pin down uncertain…
In this chapter we discuss the population and spectral synthesis of stellar populations. We describe the method required to achieve such synthesis and discuss examples where inclusion of interacting binaries are vital to reproducing the…
A review of the basic principles of the population synthesis for binary stars is presented. We discuss the break-up of low and intermediate mass close binaries over different evolutionary scenarios and, as an example, briefly consider…
This paper is a continuation and development of our previous articles (Popov et al., 1997, 1998). We use ``Scenario Machine'' (Lipunov et al., 1996b) -- the population synthesis simulator (for single binary systems calculations the program…
We present the software package binary_c-python which provides a convenient and easy-to-use interface to the binary_c framework, allowing the user to rapidly evolve individual systems and populations of stars. binary_c-python is available…
Scenario building is an established method to anticipate the future of emerging technologies. Its primary goal is to use narratives to map future trajectories of technology development and sociotechnical adoption. Following this process,…
We present a comprehensive description of the population synthesis code StarTrack. The original code has been significantly modified and updated. Special emphasis is placed here on processes leading to the formation and further evolution of…
In recent years, observations have shown that multiple-star systems such as hierarchical triple and quadruple-star systems are common, especially among massive stars. They are potential sources of interesting astrophysical phenomena such as…
