Description

Currently, we calculate the CO radii for any mass, which is assigned to a CO type. While this is OK for BHs, this doesn't work for WDs or NSs.

Research direction

Start by locating the CO-radius calculation and tracing how mass is assigned to a CO type. Define the valid mass ranges for BHs, WDs, and NSs from the surrounding implementation or project guidance, then verify that invalid ranges are rejected while BH behavior remains unchanged.
