How do I get Started?

The Code

McFACTS is the Monte carlo for AGN Channel Testing & Simulations -- the first comprehensive, publicly available, open source, population synthesis code for the "AGN channel" for LVK detectable mergers. 

Here is our GitHub repo link

The Documentation

The Code is written in python, so here is our "Read The Docs"

We also have some documentation in the README at GitHub, and we are submitting papers to ApJ, which will shortly be available on the arXiv (see below for links as papers are submitted).

Support

If you need help with any part of the code, you can ask for help 24/7 (though you might not get an answer 24/7!) using the Discussions tool at GitHub. You can also search there for other user queries we've already answered.

Can I please talk to a human?

We have weekly office hours 12-1 PM Eastern time most Fridays.

To get zoom information please email mcfacts.code@gmail.com

McFACTS Public Release

The Monte carlo For AGN Channel Testing & Simulations (McFACTS) is the first comprehensive, publicly available, open source population synthesis code for "AGN channel" for LVK detectable mergers. It was produced by members of the TIDYNYC research group and primarily funded by NSF AST-1831415, NSF AST-2206096 and Simons Foundation Grant 533845.

McFACTS I: Testing the LVK AGN channel with Monte Carlo For AGN Channel Testing & Simulation

This paper introduces McFACTS- the Monte Carlo for AGN
channel Testing & Study. We introduce the public, open-source code and we demonstrate several important features for testing the LVK and LISA AGN channel. (read the paper here)
