[mesa-users] Inconsistency in figure 2 from mesa paper III

[Ying Qin]

Hi Pablo,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, Kolb curves is different.
I made a local copy of $MESA_DIR/binary/work, compile it (./clean && ./mk) and copy  inlist1 and inlist_project there (inlist2 is unused).
To switch between the Ritter and Kolb schemes modify mdot_scheme in the binary_controls section of inlist_project

And nothing else is changed in my work directory. I have been producing other examples and just saved the history.data file and corresponding inlist files.
In addition, When I got the history.data,  it says that this is r7623 version, but I installed the version of r7624. I don’t know whether it is the reason or not ?


With my best regards,
Ying

Hi Ying. Could you send me a full copy of the directory you used to run this model, just to be sure there is nothing different? In principle results should be the same, but note anyhow that the difference is not that important. That additional phase of mass transfer only takes from the donor a very small amount of mass, both in comparison to the previous phase of mass transfer and to the remaining mass above the helium core.

Curiously, the Ritter curve looks pretty much like the one in the paper, it's the Kolb curve that disagrees.

Dear all,

I have recently being trying to reproduce the examples of Section 2(Binaries) of the recent mesa paper, using the inlists_mesa3 files posted on mesastar.org<http://mesastar.org/> site. Based on the requirements, I changed my mesa version to r7624.

However, for figure 2 of the paper (my result is in the attached file), if you focus on the panel 4(lower right), and you can easily find that there is an inconsistency between my results and the result from paper.

I cannot figure out what the reason for the inconsistency is, as I did not change the provided inlist1 and inlist_project.
Any comments are welcome. Thanks for your help in advance.

With my best regards,
Ying
