Population synthesis in astrophysics
S. B. Popov, M. E. Prokhorov Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Lomonosov Moscow State University
Abstract:
Population synthesis is а method for numerical simulation of the population of objects with а complex evolution. This method is widely used in astrophysics. We consider its main applications to studying astronomical objects. Examples of modeling evolution are given for populations of close binaries and isolated neutron stars. Тhе application of the method to studying active galactic nuclei and the integral spectral characteristics of galaxies is briefly discussed. An extensive bibliography on all the topics covered is provided.
