[Mesa-users] Studying the pulsation of stars (sdB and sdO stars)

[Bill Paxton]

I double-endorse Dave’s advice if what you are asking is can you make the mesa/star model pulse realistically.

Until that ability is in mesa someday, you can still perhaps answer your question by running GYRE to see if it thinks your model is pulsationally unstable.     The test cases ‘gyre_in_mesa_ms’ and ‘gyre_in_mesa_rsg’ are examples.  You’ll have to create your own gyre_in_mesa_subdwarf.  

cheers
