[Mesa-users] Inefficient mass transfer when omega crit is reached for the accretor

[Gehrman, Thomas C]

Hello all,


I'm modeling massive binaries going through a phase of RLOF. When the accretor  (M2) spins up to omega/omega_crit =1 I want the accretor to no longer accrete material. In paper III section 2.9 it explains whenever omega/omega_crit = 1 MESA uses an implicit method to iteratively reduce Mdot_2 until this ratio falls below this threshold. Is their an option in MESA to implement this?


Thank you,


Thomas
