[mesa-users] minimum mass fraction values

[Robert Farmer]

Hi

Those values come from the cited Woosley, Heger, et al, ApJSS, 151:75-102,
2004 paper. I would advise against using them for mesa, in fact i'm going
to go change them. If you look in the MESA3 paper at the x-ray burst
section, I use much larger values for the different controls, 10**-6 to
10**-3, the smaller the number for xmin the more isotopes you get in the
net and you can very quickly get more than mesa can cope with.
