The Stellar Merger Scenario for Black Holes in the Pair-instability Gap

Input files and numerical results for the paper "The Stellar Merger Scenario for Black Holes in the Pair-instability Gap". MESA_mergers.tar.gz contains separate work directories to run the pre-merger evolution, the merger relaxation process, and the post-merger evolution. The notebook init_merger.ipynb can be used to create input composition profiles for the merger relaxation. mix.tar.xz, primordial.tar.xz and pre-merger.tar.xz contain the numerical results used in the paper (selected profiles and history files). A git repository for this project is available on Bitbucket
