[mesa-users] 5M_sun from pre ms to wd

[Alfred Gautschy]

Last night I ran the test problem in "1M_pre_ms_to_wd" of the test_suite
on my 64-bit ubuntu 11.10 system with mesa sdk version 3846. I just
changed the initial mass to 5 Msol in the inlist. 

The run died after roughly 62 000 models at the very top of the AGB (I
did not yet look into the particular reason for the encountered failing
convergence; but I assume the choice of parameters of the included
processes might need to be different for 5 Msol stars as compared to 1
Msol ones). Anyhow, all the evolution before termination looks perfectly
textbook-like. In particular, I do not see any signs of disturbing
oscillations on the HR plane. 

For further advice, more detailed information on the "dubious" run is
necessary.
