Isochrone Probability Functions for Old Stellar Systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
The isochrone probability function (IPF) is derived from the slope of the mass–distance relation on an isochrone in where the distance along the isochrone is computed with respect to some arbitrary, well-defined point. IPFs contain the information needed to calculate both luminosity functions and color functions, and they provide a straightforward way of generating synthetic stellar populations.
