A General-Purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations. It incorporates full stellar-structure and binary-evolution modeling, using the MESA code, throughout the whole evolution of the binaries.
The use of POSYDON enables the self-consistent treatment of physical processes in stellar and binary evolution, including: realistic mass-transfer calculations and assessment of stability, internal angular-momentum transport and tides, stellar core sizes, mass-transfer rates and orbital periods.
