Binary Mass Transfer Simulations with Angular Momentum Loss Variations

Data for the paper 'The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer' by Reinhold Willcox of KU Leuven. The dataset comprises variations in angular momentum loss values, mass transfer efficiency, and stability prescriptions, stored in COMPAS HDF5 groups. Associated data processing scripts are available on GitHub.

Use Cases

• Simulating binary star evolution outcomes based on variations in angular momentum loss.
• Analyzing mass transfer stability under different astrophysical prescriptions.
• Validating independent post-processing scripts against the published results.

Strengths

• Data is directly associated with a published arXiv paper (2308.06666).
• Includes multiple HDF5 groups ('BSE_System_Parameters', 'BSE_RLOF', 'BSE_Supernovae') for structured analysis.
• Accompanied by specific data processing scripts for reproducibility.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from scripts or paper.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
