Describe the bug
A comparison between the separation given by the RLOF logs against the CEE ones showed me that separation post CEE was incredibly small, implying that most stars were touching post-CEE.
Investigating this issue, I found that the ratio of semiMajorAxisPostRLOF/semiMajorAxisPostCEE is equal to 46238.77350477 in all cases, which is consistent with ~ 10000000/215 where 215 is just ~1AU in Rsol units. So I believe this is just a misplaced/missing unit conversion.
Note that, as far as I have been able to test, this issue only affects the log files. The flag for stellar merger is not triggered by this unusual post-event separation value.
Label the issue
urgency_low - This issue is not urgent
severity_minor - This is a minor bug with minimal impact
To Reproduce
Run ~100,000 binaries, create RLOF and CEE logs.
Select stars evolving into HeWDs (previous stellar type !10), although I believe this would happen no matter the stellar type (as long as it is the same episode).
Compare the separation post-event. Other properties such as pre/post-event mass, pre/post-event radius, pre-event separation match perfectly.
Expected behavior
The separation post event shown in the CEE and RLOF logs should be similar, as both should be expressed in Rsol units (according to the documentation).
