[Mesa-users] Star Mass Loss Question

[Isaac Malsky]

Hi,

I was hoping to ask if anyone had a suggestion on how to modify the mass of
a small star in a particular way so that the model loses hydrogen and
helium in specific ways. I've written a hook in run_star_extras that
determines how much mass for each element should be lost, but I'm unsure of
how to modify the parameter in star_data.inc. Should I use something like

s% star_mass_h1 = star_mass_h1 - escape_h1

Similar to %s mstar_dot = blank_variable?

I'd greatly appreciate any help/advice. This is all in the adjust_mdot and
mass_loss subroutine.

Thanks,
Isaac
