mesa-users] massive star

[jingluan]

Dear Bill,

1, In the inlist_massive (under work_massive_star), there are statements:

!    at some point, trying to satisfy the residual limits becomes 
hopeless, so you might as
!    well stop wasting lots of iterations trying.    Here's what I did 
after the end of oxygen burning.
!
!                ! turn off resid checks early
!                max_iter_for_resid_tol1 = 3
!                max_iter_for_resid_tol2 = -1
!                max_iter_for_resid_tol3 = -1

What is residual limits please? And where shall one set the value of 
max_iter_for_resid_tol1?

2, The nuclear reaction network "basic.net" is used for which range of 
mass? What about "approx21.net"?

3, Does EZ change nuclear reaction network due to given initial mass please?

Thank you very much :-)
