POPCORN: Different Groups



The different groups

SeBa: Group working in Nijmegen, with Silvia Toonen (N)

Binary_c: Group working (originally) in Utrecht, with Joke Claeys (U)

Brussels code: Group working in Brussels, with Nicki Mennekens (B)

Startrack: Group working in Garching, with Ashley Ruiter (G)



The comparison

Radius ZAMS: The radius at the ZAMS vs. the initial mass
Radius TAMS: The radius at the TAMS vs. the initial mass
Rconv: The radius of the star when it becomes completely convective vs. the initial mass
Radius RGB: The radius at the tip RGB vs. the initial mass
Mmax vs. Mi: The maximum radius vs. the initial mass
Mi vs. Mf: Initial vs. final mass (In the case of single stars)

AGB-stars
Wind LM-AGB: Wind of AGB star with a low mass (1 and 1.5 Msun)
Wind IM-AGB: Wind of AGB star with an intermediate mass (2 and 3 Msun)
Wind HM-AGB: Wind of AGB star with a high mass mass (5 and 7 Msun)

Mass transfer rate
6+3.6 Msun 2.5 days: Case A mass transfer
6+3.6 Msun 3.5 days: Case Br(B) mass transfer
7.8+4.8 Msun 91Rsun: Case BrB mass transfer

Core radii
Core radius at onset HG
Core radius at onset GB
Core radius at onset CHeB
Core radius at onset AGB
Core radius at end AGB

He-core: He core radius vs core mass (Brussels: general, Binary_c: for onset different phases in stellar evolution)
CO-core: CO core radius vs core mass (Brussels: general, Binary_c: for onset TP-AGB phase and 5 times CO-radius at end AGB phase)
