[Mesa-users] Using make_o_ne_wd to prepare some white dwarf models

[Meisel, Zach]

Thanks Frank. Indeed, I’m aware of the comments. They have quite a heated exchange going on via the arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.06148



I’m happily just a bystander ;)

take a peek at the cold water in https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.05921v1 .
in summary: can't use plane waves, poor data selection, bad quantum mechanics.
look like another spectacular nature paper bites the dust.
