Parameter Definitions

Alpha [alpha/Fe]: The alpha enrichment parameter to be used for the calculation of the Synthetic CMD. Values from 0.0 to 0.6 can be used.

Metallicity: Metallicity for the Synthetic CMD between the range of 0.0 and 0.08.

Age: The age of the stars given in Gyrs for the calculated Synthetic CMD.

Initial Number of Stars: The number of stars to be used in the calculation of the Synthetic CMD. A maximum of 100000 stars is currently allowed.

IMF slope: Value for the slope of the IMF you would like to use. (i.e. 1.35 for Salpeter)

IMF upper limit: The upper mass limit of the IMF in solar masses.

IMF lower limit: The lower mass limit of the IMF in solar masses.

ISEED: The random number generator seed to be used for the Synthetic CMD calculations. This allows the use to get back previously made Synthetic CMDs.

Binary Fraction: The fraction of binary stars for the calculated Synthetic CMD given as a number between 0.0 and 1.0.

qmass: Mass fraction for binary stars given as a number between 0.0 and 1.0.
