Using MCMC for binary population synthesis

Add an extra phase variable for SN kicks

When a star goes through a supernova kick while in an eccentric binary, BSE/cosmic requires a phase angle. Currently that phase angle is randomly drawn within the kick function, which breaks detailed balance. Since most binaries (>95%) are circular when they undergo core collapse, this affects only a small number of systems. Nevertheless, it ought to be fixed: we should include an extra parameter within dart_board (and BSE/cosmic) for the phase of the kick.

No module named 'bse'

Hi,

Very nice work on dart_board! I was hoping to try running the code myself.

I was following the dart_board installation guide here:
http://dart-board.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/install.html#

And got dart_board and pybse to install ok but when I run the example I get:

import numpy as np
import dart_board
import pybse

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

      1 import numpy as np
      2 import dart_board

      5 # Set up the sampler

      2 import sys
      3 sys.path.append("../")
----> 4 import bse
      5 import os
      6 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bse'

Which makes me think I have missed a step.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Simon
