Dynamical formation of black hole binaries in dense star clusters: the Rapster data

This dataset is part of the Rapster paper. It contains data from star cluster simulations performed with the Rapster code. Rapster is a rapid population synthesis code for binary black hole mergers in dynamical environments.The simulations have been performed on a grid of 16 (four by four) star clusters with different initial conditions, described below.
There are two kinds of text files in this dataset:

where the asterisk * represents the value of the initial stellar number ``N’' or virial radius ``rv.‘’ Here N=2e5, 4e5, 8e5, 16e5 and rv=0.5, 1, 2, 4 pc. Moreover, the absolute metallicity was fixed to Z=0.002 and the initial galactocentric radius of each cluster to 20 kpc. Other initial conditions are matched to those of Kremer et al. (2020).
We have made 2000, 1000, 300, and 100 realizations of N2e5_rv*, N4e5_rv*, N8e5_rv*, and N16e5_rv* models, respectively, with different seeds.Below we provide the columns of the mer* (27 columns) and evo* (59 columns) files, respectively, with a brief description in parentheses:

 

We use astrophysical units throughout, in which mass is measured in solar masses, distances/radii in pc, velocities in km/s, time in Myr, and angles in radians.
