[Mesa-users] inlist for ~2Ms star terminating on the TP-AGB, mesa v10398

[Francis Timmes]

welcome. let me know if you have any issues.

btw, this is more-or-less the same inlist(s) offered in
https://lists.mesastar.org/pipermail/mesa-users/2018-March/008766.html

I had success with the attached inlist ('inlist_tashibu_2017a') used by Tashibu et al (2017) in mesa version 8118, but it produces a number of parameter name and convergence issues in v10398. I have guessed at the appropriate changes when MESA points out a naming conflict, but have thus far failed to produce a converged model. One of my attempted adjusted inlists is attached as 'inlist_tashibu_editing_attempt'
