Hi Jakub,

if you want to make sure that your reaclib file (for the current MESA 
release) contains the correct rates,
just go to the rates directory in data/rates_data and search for the 
jina_reaclib_results file.

Then use

*grep 'p  n14' jina_reaclib_results**

to find a few lines with:

*p  n14  o15                       im05n     7.29680e+00 *

This describes the reaction 14N(p,g)15O with the label im05, which 
stands for Imbriani et al.,
with a Q-value of 7.29680e+00 MeV.

The same for the triple-alpha rate:

*grep 'he4  he4  he4' jina_reaclib_results**

Then you will find (a few lines):

*he4  he4  he4  c12                  fy05r     7.27500e+00*

Again, the label is fy05, which is Fynbo et al.


But it shouldn't have changed from previous MESA releases.


Greetings,
Christoph

Instead of these there is now possibility to choose ‘jina reaclib’. The question is: are these new rates from jina the same as ‘Imbriani’ and ‘Fynbo’ or are they different?
