Week 7
A New Beginning, Kind of
Kicking off the second half of this project, I now begin my quest of creating a Monte Carlo simulation. It needs to simulate 10,000 systems with initial conditions that are being randomly drawn from their respective probability densities. It must then evolve these initial systems by their respective ages and give us an evolved binary white dwarf population that we may observe nowadays.
Week 8
Histograms
This week I learned that histograms are very important data visualization tools that have a hard time behaving as you would like them to. Check out these orbital separation distributions I my program produced.
