Do white dwarfs ever rise above the Chandrasekhar mass?

[ilyamandel]

@jeffriley says they sometimes do (to be reproduced -- he will check for the right parameters?), in which case
WhiteDwarfs::CalculateRadiusOnPhase_Static() will have a square root of a negative number.
[Also, the comparison with zero in that function should be a direct comparison, without using Compare() ]

[ilyamandel]

@jeffriley -- did you find an example?

[jeffriley]

I did not - because I didn't look. Let me try, and if I can't find an example in the next few days I'll close the issue.

@ilyamandel with COMPAS v03.09.02 execute ./compas --random-seed 11 and you'll get MCH_Mass_two_thirds = 0.978247, so sqrt(-0.021753), in WhiteDwarfs::CalculateRadiusOnPhase_Static()

I am reproducing this with random-seed 12 rather than 11, but definitely an issue -- working on it...

Fixed in #1298 , closing.
