| 45 | | I see that Mbe crit is below the minima of M(t). This is no doubt due to some SMALL round-off error somewhere in computing the total masses in the grid. If for instance, I used simply the formula above to find the mass of the BE sphere, it does not give me exactly what my code gives. The Visit calculation gives me ~0.78 when I subtract the mass of the ambient from the mass of the sphere, whereas my code says it is ~0.72 -- in line with the Crit Mbe as expected. This seems to indicate that these curves may be closer to each other than the are here. It would be interesting to see where these curves intersected. At least for now, it is safe to take away from this plot that M(t) does not fluctuate wildly, and never goes more than 100% over the crit Mbe..? |
