... Porter

Note that the parameter $\dot{M}_{\rm d}$ used by Porter does not describe the total disk mass loss rate. Instead, his value of $\dot{M}_{\rm d} = 10^{-5}~M_{\odot}$ yr^-1 needs to be multiplied by the solid angle of the disk and divided by $4\pi$. The total disk mass loss rate in his models is therefore $\dot{M}_{\rm disk}\simeq 2$ $\times$ $10^{-6}~M_{\odot}$ yr^-1.
