Excited to share the release of my new code cogsworth (https://t.co/0sCYUObUWe) that YOU can use to make seamlessly self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations! The paper is out on arXiv (https://t.co/7jab6IvF84) but read on here for more details π₯³
@jkarpin2 That makes sense, there's no specific random seed set so each instance of the tutorial will produce a different population of binaries (with different orbits) :)

@SabinaAstro @farrwill Oh well in that case you're going to be utterly delighted to hear that cogsworth uses a basis function expansion in spherical harmonics to fit the galactic mass distributions from hydro sims - just check out section 2.5.2 ;P
Excited to get started? The online documentation (https://t.co/0sCYUObUWe) includes nearly 20 tutorials, a gallery of quick examples and several in-depth case studies to give you everything you need to become a cogsworth expert in no timeπ Can't wait to see what you do with it!
cogsworth is built on top of the COSMIC and Gala codes, letting you access any of the awesome features in those packages through cogsworth. I'm so grateful for my wonderful co-authors @spacetimekatie, Mathieu and @adrianprw on this project who made it a joy to work on!
I had a great time developing this with @FloorAstro, we're really hoping it can be useful for the community! Very fun seeing what a random conversation at @FlatironCCA can turn into π
In a new paper today we coin the new acronym RATRATARRATRATTS! We explore how Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) could come together with Runaway T-Tauri Stars (RATTS) to form a binary RRATRATTS and how irradiated rats could evolve on a planet nearby.

More in the paper about how much irradiation a planet might have, the fundamental nature of rats in our Universe and some important conclusions. Use the link above or just go to https://t.co/sUtCrDxiEm and type "\rats"
@MarkPopinchalk @astrobites Thanks! Not sure honestly, I asked for clarification but they just said "arXiv only accepts April Foolsβ Day at the moderators' discretion. At the request of the moderators we have declined to accept your work."π€·
