Flexible Stellar Population Synthesis
Instructions:
  1. 1.Add this line to your .cshrc file: setenv SPS_HOME /home/directory/for/SPS/routines/                           (this should point to the directory containing the src directory)
  2. 2.Download this tarball:  FSPS_v2.0.tar.gz
  3. 3.Please send me an email (cconroy-at-astro-dot-princeton-dot-edu) so that i can keep you posted on updates.  This step is important!!
  4. 4.There is a user’s manual and readme file contained in the tarball (the manual can also be found here). Please read them carefully, in addition to the ApJ paper that describes the code (here).
  5. 5.Note that the spectral libraries included here are in binary form. The files are written in little endian format (appropriate for most machines, like Intel, but not for e.g. PowerPC and Sun systems). If you're running the code on a machine that assumes big endianness, then you'll have to swap the bytes!   Email me if this is a problem for you.
Update Log:
  1. •01/10/09 - Release of v0.9
  2. •01/18/09 - Bug fixed in compsp.f90 routine.  Tabulated SFH results were effected.
  3. •01/24/09 - Minor bugs fixed in compsp.f90 routine.  Manual updated, and changes made to example routines.
  4. •04/29/09 - Release of v1.0.  Bug in spectral libraries fixed (resulted in ~0.05 mag errors for young ages).  Features added, including an expanded series of dust models.
  5. •11/17/09 - Release of v2.0.  Major revisions, including a calibration of the TP-AGB parameters Delta_L and Delta_T on Magellanic Cloud data.  See Conroy & Gunn 2009 for details.   BaSTI isochrones and post-AGB tracks added.  Witt & Gordon 2000 dust models added.   Additional routines were also added.
