Next: Initial parameters of compact Up: The Model Previous: The Model . To start the calculations, we choose the distributions of initial binary parameters: mass of the primary ZAMS component, ; binary mass ratio, ; and orbital separation, a . ... As for the mass ratio distribution in binaries, the observational information is poor. Meanwhile, from the evolutionary point of view, it is particularly important how different are the initial masses of the components (see, e.g., Trimble 1983). ...

Next: Uncorrelated flux component Up: Introduction Previous: The Hierarchical Stellar Systems Contents . The type parameter allows to select from a range of stellar models, either analytical, or availbale as data files or FITS images. ... For all types from zero to 11, the flux distribution is computed as flat ( teff=0 ), a black body ( teff < 0 ), or a stellar atmosphere ( teff > 0 ). For all types, specifying an arbitrary SED will override stellar spectra or fluxes derived from the images. ...

... To determine the parameters we want (stellar magnitudes and colors) from the observations we have, we fit the data to a model. The model should represent the circumstances of the observations as realistically as possible; otherwise, effects present in the data but not in the model will be distributed among the available adjustable parameters, such as stellar magnitudes, extinction coefficients, and transformation parameters. ... The bias problem . ...
