A public version of the Binsyn program package now is available for download.
Binsyn is a set of programs, running on Linux, that simulate binary star systems, either with or without an optically thick accretion disk. The package includes facilities for parameter optimization by differentials correction. Light curve generation optionally is on the black body approximation or by synthetic photometry. In the latter case, the filter response curves provided with the release are on the Bessell, 1990, PASP, 102, 1181 (Table 2) tabulation. Substitution of different response curves to represent other photometric systems can be accomplished easily.
The package produces synthetic spectra and calculated radial velocities of system components as function of orbital phase for comparison with observational data. It has been used extensively in studies of cataclysmic variables (e.g., Linnell et al., 2010, ApJ, 719, 271).
The presentation will demonstrate program performance in a variety of contexts.
