Model of stellar population synthesis of the Galaxy

On Thursday March 11^th 2010 around noon CET (GMT+1), the front-head of the computing machine faced an unexpected failure. Web site has then been unreachable from Saturday March 13^th 14:45 GMT to Monday March 15^th 7:45 GMT. Service came then back to normal.
Due to the failure, all simulations submitted between Thursday March 11^th 2010 11:00 GMT and Saturday March 13^th 14:45 GMT were unfortunately lost and users have to resubmit them if they want to.
We really apologize for the inconvenience.

From Friday July 24^th 2009 on, simulations are forced to stop when output file size exceeds 2 Gbytes or when CPU time exceeds 10 days

This version of the Model of stellar population synthesis of the Galaxy is fully described in the following publication:
A. C. Robin, C. Reylé, S. Derrière and S. Picaud. A synthetic view on structure and evolution of the Milky Way, 2003, Astron. Astrophys., 409:523 ADS (erratum: 2004, Astron. Astrophys., 416:157)

On December 6, 2004, a new version was enabled that allows to use the CFHT-Megacam photometric system. More informations are available here.
