Population synthesis results in "The fate of Gaia's wide binaries: Interplay of white-dwarf recoil and tidal capture"
Abstract
This dataset contains the full results of the wide-binary population synthesis experiments described in Section 3.3 of O'Connor (2025, submitted), which examine the interplay of stellar mass loss and tidal capture in the Galactic population of wide binaries. The data are stored as compressed NumPy arrays (.npz format). A README file explains the file naming scheme, the column names for each file, and the meaning of certain data values. This description will be updated with a citation of the final published version.
