List of updates from previous version (1.2 to 1.3):
– DEM phase now includes proper mass-loss prescription (cf. Sect. 4.3 of the final/accepted version of the BoOST paper Szécsi et al.)
– The final version of the BoOST paper (Szécsi et al.) contains a discussion on the necessity of the DEM method. See also Agrawal el al. for further explanations.
– All the old Brott+2011 and Köhler+2015 models that we include into the project have all been recomputed by us, for consistency with newer models.
– A complete set of analytic figures is published, showing all the columns plotted as a function of time.
