Description:
Using Eggleton's stellar evolution code, we carry out 150 runs of
Population I binary evolution calculations with the initial primary
mass between 1 and 8 solar masses, the initial mass ratio q=M1/M2
between 1.1 and 4, and the onset of Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) at an
early, middle or late Hertzsprung-gap stage. We assume that the RLOF
is conservative in the calculations. We list characteristics for
binaries with different initial parameters at the beginning of RLOF,
minimum luminosity during RLOF, the end of the last episode of RLOF
and the end of the evolutionary calculations. The characteristics
includes the age of the primary, its mass, mass transfer rate, its
effective temperature, its luminosity, its radius, its helium core
mass, its carbon-oxygen core mass, the hydrogen abundance at its
surface, the mass ratio of the binary, and the orbital period.

Note on events:
The events a, b, c and d are, respectively, the beginning of RLOF,
minimum luminosity during RLOF, the end of the last episode of RLOF and
the end of the evolutionary calculation.
We usually list stellar parameters at a, b, c and d. However, the code
breaks down when RLOF is unstable. In that case, we only list parameters at
a if RLOF is unstable at onset, or at a and b if RLOF is stable at the
onset but becomes unstable after the primary reaches the red giant branch
(RGB)
