[mesa-users] Problem with evolving pure helium stars

[Ylva Götberg]

Hi Aaron and Philip,

So, I wanted to compare the evolution of pure helium stars with helium stars created from envelope stripping in binaries. Also, I’d like to check how well I could estimate the helium zero-age main sequence with homology relations. 

The star is taking extreme amount of models though to get to this tiny burning so I don’t know if it would get much better if I just continued longer (see attached Kippenhahn diagram).

I have attached the enlist_project for the 0.5 MSun, happy to hear that you succeeded Philip!

Ylva
