Hi Abhijnan,

No, if std_distance_for_irradiation is set to -1, then the relative irradiation won't be used. If you don't want the irradiation to be set relative to the orbital separation in the binary, then you might want to look at the single-star irradiation controls here: https://docs.mesastar.org/en/release-r22.11.1/reference/star_job.html#irrad-col-depth <https://docs.mesastar.org/en/release-r22.11.1/reference/star_job.html#irrad-col-depth> 

Cheers,
Evan

So you set the irradiation flux according to what it should be at some fixed distance that you define, and then MESA binary will rescale that by a factor of (standard_distance/separation)^2 as the binary model's orbital separation evolves. Does that answer the question?
