Re: phantom simulation of wind in high mass X-ray binaries

[Daniel Price]

Dear Jiren,

This problem occurs when you get NaNs in the output, which could be for many reasons. It also looks like you have a negative number of particles.

The wind injection routine is fairly new and has only been tested with a single star. It would likely need a bit of work for a binary + wind.

Best wishes,

Daniel
