Standard log files

COMPAS defines several standard log files that may be produced depending upon the simulation mode (Single Star Evolution (SSE), or Binary Star Evolution (BSE), see the --mode program option)), and the value of various program options.

The standard log files are:

System Parameters	Records summary information for all stars, or binary stars, during evolution.
Supernovae	Records summary information for all stars that experience a SN event during evolution.
Detailed Output	Records detailed information for a star, or binary star, during evolution.
	Enable with program option --detailed-output.
SwitchLog	Records detailed information for all stars, or binary stars, at the time of each stellar type switch during evolution.
	Enable with program option --switch-log.
Double Compact Objects	Records summary information for all binary systems that form DCOs during BSE.
Common Envelopes	Records summary information for all binary systems that experience CEEs during BSE.
Pulsar Evolution	Records detailed Pulsar evolution information during BSE.
	Enable with program option --evolve-pulsars.
RLOF	Records detailed information RLOF events during BSE.
	Enable with program option --rlof-printing.
