Katie and I had a great time chatting with Frank about cogsworth! If you're interested in doing your own self consistent pop synth and galactic dynamics (and don't want to read the paper 😛), here's a summary video :)

McFACTS (Monte carlo For AGN Channel Testing & Simulations) is now PUBLIC!
This is the 1st public, open source population synthesis code modeling the full AGN Channel (incl not just the migration trap but a full disk!) for LVK detectable BBH mergers. 🔭
You can find the code itself on GitHub: 1/

Excited to share the release of my new code cogsworth (cogsworth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) that YOU can use to make seamlessly self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations! The paper is out on arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2409.04543) but read on here for more details 🥳

Ringo asked, "What would you do if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me?"
He didn't know that sometimes the stars sing out of tune because they've consumed their siblings. @tomwagg.bsky.social shows us how to hear the music of stellar satiety:

We present new simulations investigating the impact of mass transfer on the asteroseismic signals of slowly pulsating B stars. We use MESA to simulate the evolution of a binary star system and...

Paper day today! 🎉 So excited to share this work investigating how mass transfer leaves imprints on the asteroseismic signals of a star: arxiv.org/abs/2403.05627. More in the thread below! 🧵
