This resource provides a complete walkthrough for using the LORENE open-source software—from downloading, installing, compiling, and configuring parameters to running simulations for generating initial data for binary neutron star mergers. Since running LORENE on macOS can be tricky, a sample local settings file is also included in the PDF below.
The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations describe the structure of a spherically symmetric, static compact object in hydrostatic equilibrium under general relativity. I have developed a short Python script to numerically solve the TOV equations, allowing users to compute the mass-radius relationship and internal structure of compact stars. The script is compatible with any tabulated equation of state in the LORENE format. Please refer to the README file on GitHub for detailed instructions.
