These were adapted from the reproduction package of A&amp;A 650, A107 (2021). A small number of models did not converge using the default controls. These can be made to complete by either setting the control make\_gradr\_sticky\_in\_solver\_iters = .true. (see inlist1, this works for models with small initial periods) or by relaxing delta\_HR\_limit and delta\_HR\_hard\_limit (see run\_binary\_extras line 900).</p> <p>## Citation Policy</p> <p>If you use any part of this reproduction package for independent work we recommend you cite the following papers:</p> <p>- <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01110">https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01110</a><br> - Phys.Dark Univ. 32 (2021) 100801<br> - Phys.Rev.D 102 (2020) 11, 115024<br> - Phys.Rev.Lett. 125 (2020) 26, 261105<br> - Astrophys.J.Lett. 916 (2021) 2, L16<br> - Phys.Rev.D 105 (2022) 095038<br> - A&amp;A 650, A107 (2021)<br> - Astrophys.
