Hi Pablo

So None of them are averaged quantities from center to the
corresponding radius s%r(k) or s% rmid(k). Thank you very much.

I have another question. I know that MESA parameters are in cgs unit.
what is the unit of (s% rho(k)) and (s% rho_face(k)) in MESA? Is it
(g/cm^3) for both ?
and also for ( s% P(k)) and (s%P_face(k)), is it (g/cm s^2) for both
of the pressures ?
 Sorry for asking such basic questions I just want to be sure that I
have chosen the parameters correctly.
