During February 2026, Alex Bobrick enhanced the TeamCOMPAS/COMPAS repository by implementing a feature that improved the accuracy of mass sampling in the Max Moe sampler. He ensured that the mass distribution for both single and binary components strictly followed the Kroupa initial mass function, mirroring the COSMIC code after applying the same correction. This work involved Python scripting, numerical sampling, and rigorous cross-code validation to guarantee identical results between COMPAS and COSMIC. Alex also focused on code quality by cleaning up comments and improving readability, demonstrating a methodical approach to scientific computing and data analysis within the project.
February 2026 monthly summary for TeamCOMPAS/COMPAS: Key feature delivered this month focused on mass sampling accuracy in the Max Moe sampler. The update ensures the mass distribution of single and binary components adheres to the Kroupa initial mass function (IMF), aligning with the COSMIC code implementation after applying the same correction. Validation was performed against COSMIC to guarantee consistency of results.
