One of the main binary parameter - a, semimajor axis or orbital period of the system, P. You can choose in what units to input and output these parameters.
M1- mass of the primary (initially more massive companion). In solar units.
M2 or q. You can determine M2- secondary mass in solar units (initially less massive companion), or mass ratio, q=M2/M1 (always less or equial than unity).
E-orbital eccentricity.
T- time of the evolution of the system (in years). Calculations will stop at the moment T.
B1 or Mu1. Initial magnetic field of the first compact star, B1, in gauss. Or magnetic moment, Mu1, in Gauss*cm^3 (Mu1=B1*R^3, R- radius of the star). B1 or Mu2. Initial magnetic field of the second compact star, B2, in gauss. Or magnetic moment, Mu2, in gauss*cm^3.
Kick velocity. Additional velocity, the compact object achieve after the supernova explosion due to anysotropy of the collapse. The user can determine the direction of the velocity: random direction or exactly determine by the user. Kick velocity is determined separately for every star.
Maximum accretion rate into common envelope (CE). The user can choose between two opportunities: Eddington luminosity and no limit.
Matter acception. How the normal star accept matter during the Roche lobe overflow by its companion.
Common envelope efficiency. The efficiency of the angular momentum loss during the CE stage.
Collapse mass fraction. During collapse not all matter convert into the BH. Some fraction is lost. Here the user determine the fraction which is NOT lost.
Oppenheimer-Volkov limit. The upper limit of the NS's mass.
Initial spin period of the NS and WD. The periods can be determined by the user, or one can use momentum conservation condition, in that case normal star rotation period will be used to calculate initial period of the compact object.
