MODEST: Frequently Asked Questions

• Where can I find a stellar evolution code?
  We are in the process of making several relatively simple codes available. Some pointers are provided on the web site for MODEST WG-2. Or go directly to Tycho.

• Where can I find a stellar dynamics code?
  There are several packages and codes available. See the web site for MODEST WG-3, or go directly to Starlab.

• How do I start experimentation with stellar collisions?
  There is a simple web interface that allows you to interactively run two-body or three-body interactions with possible collisions. See MODEST WG-4, or go directly to Triptych or Tripletych.

• I have a stellar evolution code, and now I would like to test it in a simple dynamical environment. What should I do to couple my code with a simple N-body integrator?
  All you to do is provide a simple wrapper around your code, with an interface as specified in sections 6 and 8 of the MODEST-1 summary paper.
