 ===== Computing stars at the Kepler limit =====
-This test follows the computation performed in [[https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.11258.pdf|Camelio et al., 2019]]. While the code is not perfectly identical to the one used for the paper, the code changes have been minimal.
+It is worth pointing out that this test case takes up more runtime than the other that is provided for the computation of the [[examples_aswns_nonbaro|non-barotropic configuration]], hence, it might be useful to check out this test first if you have not done so.

+The final results will be written in the file that you provided, by default this would be kepler.dat. The individual columns refer to:
+     * the central density
+    * axial Omega
+    * the corresponding error flag (0 means no error)
+    * the gravitational mass in Msun
+    * the baryonic mass in Msun
+    * the proper mass
+    * total stellar entropy,
+    * the angular momentum
+    * the rotational energy
+    * the equatorial omega,
+    * the Keplerian Omega
+    *  the equatorial radius in Msun,
+    * the equatorial radius in km
+    *  radius at the pole in Msun
+    *  the disk mass
+    * the derivative dm/drho
+==== Plotting your results ====
-This computation can take a while, so please be patient.
+Based on the result in kepler.dat, you could check your results. One straight forward way would be to look at m(rho) and plot this with gnuplot, e.g.,
+gnuplot
+gnuplot> plot 'kepler.dat' u 1:4 w l
-==== Plotting your results ====
+which gives you the following plot of the gravitational mass as a function of the central density.
