A new route towards merging massive black holes

<p>MESA inlists, run_star_extras, and data associated with <a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/?#abs/2016A&amp;A...588A..50M">Marchant et al. (2016)</a>. MESA version 8118.</p> <p>Publication DOI:&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201628133">10.1051/0004-6361/201628133</a></p> <p>Files are also available in a gihub repository <a href="https://github.com/orlox/mesa_input_data/tree/master/2016_double_bh">here</a></p> <p>Upload includes post-processed simulation output in the files Z04.tar.xz (for Z=Zsun/4), Z10.tar.xz&nbsp;(for Z=Zsun/10),&nbsp;Z20.tar.xz&nbsp;(for Z=Zsun/20) and&nbsp;Z50.tar.xz&nbsp;(for Z=Zsun/50). Each folder inside the archive corresponds to a single MESA simulation, with the name indicating the value of log10(M_1), q=M2/M1&nbsp;and the orbital period in days. For example, the directory 1.6_1.00_0.90 corresponds to the simulation with log10(M1)=1.6, M2/M1=1 and Porb=0.9 days. Each folder is also a MESA template folder, containing all input files neccesary to reproduce that individual simulation.</p>
