[mesa-users] neutral H in giants' envelope

[Jing Luan]

Hello,

There is a parameter called lnfree_e ( please check 
star/public/star_data.dek) indicating the free electron number per 
nucleon. You can refer it as s% lnfree_e. You could then use Saha's 
equation, together with the temperature s% T to get the ionization 
fraction of H. I do not know that there is a direct H ionization 
fraction parameter though.

Hope it helps :-)

Sincerely,
Jing
