Orbital and\or rotational evolution with mass loss

Open gekaremi opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Congratulations on the first release of this great program!

I have a question: is it possible to simulate orbital and rotational evolution taking into account mass loss\grow in stars and planets(in the isotropic approximation)?

Thank you very much for your attention!

Thanks for your enthusiasm! Yes, that functionality is available and has been tested for AtmEsc and DistOrb coupling. AtmEsc and SpiNBody may not be stable. We haven't tried DistRot and AtmEsc, but I think it should work.

Thank you for quick respond! I will try ASAP and report results.
