-  - Changed the 2D inputs to more natural units ([L]=1 AU, [T]=1 yr, [M]=10^12 g) because VH-1 would crash when using the cgs system for our problem.+  - Changed the 2D inputs to more natural units ([L]=1 AU, [T]=1 yr, [M]=10^12 g=1 Mt) because VH-1 would crash when using the cgs system for our problem.
   - Fixed an error in our input densities.   - Fixed an error in our input densities.
   - Fixed the bug of density accumulating on the symmetry axis (we use cylindrical coordinates) by setting the density of the two innermost gridpoints in each column to the value of the third. This is a quick and dirty fix and unphysical! However, we think the problem is caused by some boundary condition/​ghost zone issue that we were not able to resolve after spending several hours on it. We thank Richard for suggesting this fix!   - Fixed the bug of density accumulating on the symmetry axis (we use cylindrical coordinates) by setting the density of the two innermost gridpoints in each column to the value of the third.
