<h2 id="hello">Understanding binaries</h2>
<p>The life and death of multiple-star systems</p>
</header>
<p>The majority of stars are found in
binary (or higher multiple) systems. Interactions between companion stars alter binary
evolution. Many pieces of physics which determine how binariers form and evolve are currently
uncertain; however, we have a variety of observations of different stages of binary evolution
which can illuminate our understanding. The question is: how to translate observations to
constraints on the physical processes that govern binaries? To solve this, we are developing
<em>Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics</em> (COMPAS). COMPAS combines
tools for statistical analysis and model selection with rapid population synthesis, allowing
inferences to be made about the details of stellar and binary evolution.</p>
<span class="image featured"><img src="images/COMPAS_CasA.png" alt="Background :Cassiopeia A Supernoa Remnant Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/O. Krause (Steward Observatory)" /></span>
<p> COMPAS was initiated in order to
explore the astrophysical implications of <a
href="http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/activity/physics/astronomy/gravitational-wave/gravitational-wave-astronomy.aspx">gravitational-wave
observations</a>. We are interested in understanding how the binary black holes discovered by
LIGO could have formed, and how future observations could be best used to constrain our
understanding of binary evolution. We are now including other observational signatures of binary
evolution. Different observations provide different insights, and combining these leads to a more
complete, concordance picture of binary astrophysics.</p>
