A new route towards merging massive black holes

MESA inlists, run_star_extras, and data associated with Marchant et al. (2016). MESA version 8118. Publication DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201628133 Files are also available in a gihub repository here Upload includes post-processed simulation output in the files Z04.tar.xz (for Z=Zsun/4), Z10.tar.xz (for Z=Zsun/10), Z20.tar.xz (for Z=Zsun/20) and Z50.tar.xz (for Z=Zsun/50). Each folder inside the archive corresponds to a single MESA simulation, with the name indicating the value of log10(M_1), q=M2/M1 and the orbital period in days. For example, the directory 1.6_1.00_0.90 corresponds to the simulation with log10(M1)=1.6, M2/M1=1 and Porb=0.9 days. Each folder is also a MESA template folder, containing all input files neccesary to reproduce that individual simulation.
