Dataset from: Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS

This data set is used to produce Figure 16 of the COMPAS Paper (Team COMPAS et al. 2021).

The file contains the output of 10,000,000 binaries evolved using COMPAS  v02.21.00, using adaptive importance sampling (STROOPWAFEL) , sampling from a metallicity uniform in \(\log(Z) \in [10^{-4},0.03]\). More details can be found in the `Run_Details` group.

COMPAS simulation output:
The hdf5 file Includes necessary information about the simulated binaries in the following groups:

BSE_Double_Compact_Objects

BSE_Supernovae
BSE_System_Parameters
Run_Details

We point the reader to the documentation at https://compas.science/docs, for information and instructions regarding the contained data.

Rate Data
The hdf5 file contains 1 groups with BBH merger rate data for every BBH with an inspiral time that is smaller than the age of the Universe. This group contains a dataset "DCOmask" which can be used to point from the "DoubleCompactObjects" to the data contained in the respective rates datasets.

We include the rates for one realization of the metallicity-dependent SFRD as discussed in  the manuscript.
The metallicity-dependent SFRD used is the phenomenological metallicity-dependent SFRD  as described in Neijssel et al. 2019, this contained in:
'Rates_mu00.035_muz-0.23_alpha0.0_sigma00.39_sigmaz0.0'

*****************************

The rates were calculated by running ```FastCosmicIntegration.py```  from COMPAS's post-processing tools.
