cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…Alternatively, several analytic models are available for galactic potentials and star formation histories. cogsworth can also transform the intrinsic simulated population into an observed population using dust maps, bolometric correction functions, and survey selection functions. We provide a detailed explanation of the functionality of cogsworth and demonstrate its capabilities through a series of use cases: (1) we predict the spatial distribution of compact objects and runaways in both dwarf and Milky Way–like galaxies; (2) using a star cluster from a hydrodynamical simulation, we show how supernovae can change the orbits of stars in several ways; and (3) we predict the separation of disrupted binary stellar companions on the sky and create a synthetic Gaia color–magnitude diagram. …”
