[mesa-users] Stopping a run at helium flash

[Aaron Dotter]

Hi Roberto,

I think that there is nothing explicit, as in stop_at_He_flash.  I use the
He burning luminosity.  From controls.defaults,

         power_he_burn_upper_limit = 1d99
            ! stop when total power from reactions burning helium (in Lsun
units) is > this.

and set the upper limit to 10^4 or so.  The magnitude of the He flash is
mass dependent in the sense that peak decreases with increasing initial
mass; you can choose the value to get as close to the maximum as you'd like
with a bit of experimentation.

Aaron
