[Mesa-users] Model a star in the HR diagram

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Gon\E7alo,

You only sent the inlist for the astero module, not for MESA star itself 
(i.e. the file with &star_job and &controls).  I can't guarantee that I'm 
running the same thing as you unless you send that inlist too.

However, the moment I change the target T_eff and log(L) and the starting mass, alpha, etc, the code runs but always says it could not find chi^2 in that run, and does not present the results in the output file.
