Where does this and the K come from? In single stars K=100 is standard and gives a maximum mass of the NS that's ~2.2 M_sun. Also, can you use scientific notation here? I find it rather difficult to parse all the leading zeroes. 8.08e-4 is much easier to read. Also, having the central density in terms of g/cm^3 in the comment would be more helpful than the specific enthalpy.

Added the reference where these numbers are from, and the other things. Thanks for your review!

I think we should use the numbers from https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.14518.pdf instead. It's more recent and also evolves the binaries, and allows for a simple thermal component.

You can replace this with an EOS of your choice when generating ID :) happy to put another one here as the example. The paper you link doesn't
list the central density though, or maybe I've missed it. Also, is the thermal component implemented?

Okay, let's just leave it as-is. Like you said, we can adjust later :)
