Formation of ultra-massive carbon-oxygen white dwarfs from the merger of carbon-oxygen and helium white dwarf pairs

Inlists and initial models for simulating post-merger evolution of CO WD + He WD pairs.

Description:

Unzip the file named "post-merger-evolution.rar", you will find six folders including several files.

The folder named "models". This folder includes initial models  for simulating post-merger evolution (after CO WD + He WD merger). Folders named (1) "inlist_no_rotation", (2) "inlist_etaB=0.02" and (3) "inlist_rotation" include inlist files for simulating post-merger evolution by using (1) Reimers' wind prescription (Reimers_scaling_factor = 0.5), (2) Blocker's wind prescription (Blocker_scaling_factor = 0.02), and (3) Reimers' wind prescription (Reimers_scaling_factor = 0.5), but add rotation for the initial models, respectively. Folder named "src" includes ".f90" files in handling rotation or non-rotation situations.

How to use:

(1) If needs to simulate non-rotation situation, you can copy the content in the file of "src/run_star_extras_no_r" to covers the content in the file of "src/run_star_extras", then "./mk".  Then copy the files in folders of "inlist_no_rotation" or "inlist_etaB=0.02" to covers the file "inlist" (also don't forget the corresponding model), and then "./rn".

(2) If needs to simulate post-merger evolution including rotation, please use "src/rotation" and "inlist_rotation". By default, the initially rotational velocity of the remnants are set as 40% of  Kepler velocity, one may change this by revising the parameters in "src/rotation".
