hi liam,

in general, send email to mesa-users at lists.mesastar.org rather than individuals
so that everyone can share and learn. i'll reply more specifically shortly and cc
mesa-users at lists.mesastar.org

Through a summer internship with my department I have learned how to use the basics of MESA. Previously I had emailed the MESA-userslist about neutrino interactions and received some very helpful information. Since then I have been spending some time trying to develop an addition to MESA (r-10398) star which simulates the charged current neutrino interactions on free nucleons in core collapse supernovae. At this time the addition is functional but relies on user supplied best guesses for the neutrino luminosities and energies. Below is a link to the GitHub repository where all the files and accompanying information can be found. I wanted to make you folks aware of the work in case you were interested. As I am quite new to MESA (and stellar astrophysics simulations in general) I would very much appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the work I have done so far. I think all the necessary information is included in the repository, but if I missed anything or you have questions, concerns, etc., I'd be happy to address them. I obtained your emails from the MESA marketplace, but if you know of anyone else this addition would interest, feel free to forward this message to them.
