We test 1D-MESA2HYDRO-3D on five stellar models generated with the MESA stellar evolution code and verify its capacity as an IC generator with the Phantom smoothed-particle hydrodynamics code \\citep{MESAIV, Phantom}. Consistency between the input density profiles, the 1D-MESA2HYDRO-3D-rendered particle distributions, and the state of the distributions after evolution over $10$ dynamical timescales is found for model stars ranging in structure and density from a radially extended supergiant to a white dwarf.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-22T00:30:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stellar models", "density conversion", "1d-mesa2hydro-3d", "physically motivated initial conditions", "mesa stellar evolution code" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
