  • Step 1: Calculate the stellar radii of both components, then add the two radii together. Use SBL for this if one or both components arent stellar remnants. We will call this as variable Rsystem.
  • Step 2: Determine the minimum separation between both components. This will be variable MinSep.
  • Step 3: Divide RSys by MinSep, making sure that both variables use the same unit, and that both of then are measured in radius. This is the variable SystemRatio.
  • Step 4: Check if SystemRatio is above a certain minimum (1.5 or 2). This will trigger the check, which is the variable ValidCheck. Set ValidCheck to true if it excedes the minimum, otherwise set it to false.
