MODEST Working Group 5:
Simulating Observations of Simulations


We have developed extensive software environments and simulation codes to model star clusters. Now is time to get feedback from observers, so that we can present our increasingly realistic data in a way that is most useful for direct comparison with observations.

At the same time we can give feedback to observers, indicating what would be most useful for us, to learn from new observations. And of course, in this process, we would like to compare notes with other theoreticians as well.



Applications of Simulating Observations of Simulations:

Open Star Cluster

Young Dense Star Clusters

The Primordial Binary Population

The M67 Challenge a modest collaborative experiment


Detail of a simulated CCD of a simulated star cluster picture is about 1pc wide.
