MESA inlists: Eclipsing millisecond pulsars with He star companions

A set of inlists for MESA r10398 to reproduce the models used in “Eclipsing millisecond pulsars with He star companions”.

This repository contains the MESA inlists used to model the evolution of neutron-star + helium-star binaries relevant to eclipsing millisecond pulsars (MSPs). The setup includes evaporation-driven mass loss from the companion and is able to reproduce key properties of the eclipsing MSP PSR J1928+1815. As a worked example, we provide inlists that evolve a system with a helium-star mass of 2.2 M☉ and an initial orbital period of 0.1 days.
