Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

... Second, the observatory can control the configuration, test data analysis procedures, and provide calibration solutions with the help of instrument models. This paper presents the VLT object-oriented framework for the development of ETCs (Exposure Time Calculators) and data simulators. ... Instrument simulations are being developed for the purpose of predictive calibration, instrument configuration control, and evaluation of data analysis procedures. ...
