Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics & Statistics
COMPAS is a publicly available rapid binary population synthesis code (https://compas.science/) that is designed so that evolution prescriptions and model parameters are easily adjustable. COMPAS draws properties for a binary star system from a set of initial distributions, and evolves it from zero-age main sequence to the end of its life as two compact remnants. It has been used for inference from observations of gravitational-wave mergers, Galactic neutron stars, X-ray binaries, and luminous red novae.

Acknowledgements
If you use this code or parts of this code for results presented in a scientific publication, we would greatly appreciate if you send us your paper reference and make your input settings and output data publicly available by uploading it to the COMPAS Zenodo community. Please also kindly include citations to our COMPAS methods paper https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021arXiv210910352T/abstract. As the public COMPAS code is a product of work by the entire COMPAS collaboration over many years, we kindly request that, in recognition of this team effort, the paper is cited as “Team COMPAS: J. Riley et al.”. An example bibtex code is:

Note that the preferred acknowledgement relies on \noopsort and cites the paper as TEAM COMPAS; Riley et al.; to make it work, you'll have to include the following line at the start of your bibtex file: @PREAMBLE{ {\providecommand{\noopsort}[1]{}} }
and change the author line in the bib entry to:
author = {{\noopsort{Team COMPAS}}{Team COMPAS: Riley, J.} and {Agrawal}, Poojan and {Barrett}, Jim W. and {Boyett}, Kristan N.~K. and {Broekgaarden}, Floor S. and {Chattopadhyay}, Debatri and {Gaebel}, Sebastian M. and {Gittins}, Fabian and {Hirai}, Ryosuke and {Howitt}, George and {Justham}, Stephen and {Khandelwal}, Lokesh and {Kummer}, Floris and {Lau}, Mike Y.~M. and {Mandel}, Ilya and {de Mink}, Selma E. and {Neijssel}, Coenraad and {Riley}, Tim and {van Son}, Lieke and {Stevenson}, Simon and {Vigna-Gomez}, Alejandro and {Vinciguerra}, Serena and {Wagg}, Tom and {Willcox}, Reinhold}
In addition, we suggest to kindly include the two following papers:
- Stevenson S., Vigna-Gómez A., Mandel I., Barrett J. W., Neijssel C. J., Perkins D., de Mink S. E., 2017, Nature Communications, 8, 14906
