Abstract:

Observations showed that more than half stars are binaries, and the evolution of binaries is obviously different from single stars.Therefore, it is important to include binary evolution in stellar population synthesis. The importance of binaries for stellar population studies has been listed as one of six main challenges of stellar population synthesis in the next decades. This paper introduces the birth, main research content and progress of binary star stellar population synthesis.

Key words: binary star, stellar population synthesis
