[mesa-users] Power in erg/s for specific nuclear reactions (not categories!)

[Bill Paxton]

Getting info about which isotopes and reactions are part of the net you are using is easy to get.


in star_job.defaults

         !### show_net_species_info
         ! if true, then output a list of the species in the current net

      show_net_species_info = .false.

         !### show_net_reactions_info
         ! if true, then output information about the reactions in the current net

      show_net_reactions_info = .false.

        !### list_net_reactions
         ! if true, then output a simple list of the reactions in the current net

      list_net_reactions = .false.


To investigate particular reactions, you probably need to dig into the mesa/net module.  (Frank Timmes might be able to help you; but it is for expert users only!)

I thought this would be the best way to check that the reactions are actually implemented by MESA. Is there any  guarantee that everything is OK with the reactions?
