Ciao!
Here is a proposed implementation in COSMIC of the two-stage common envelope formalism presented in Hirai & Mandel 2022.
It basically relies on the idea that only the convective part of the envelope should be involved in the common envelope phase, and, if present, the radiative intershell more tightly bound to the core should only be lost through a stable mass transfer.
It is worth noting that COSMIC technically already computes the mass of the convective envelope via the MRENV subroutine, but I could not find where these fits come from (I believe it is not from Hurley et al 2000).
Cheers,
Tristan Bruel
