[Mesa-users] Problems With High Irradiation

[Howard Chen]

Hi Tuhin,

Our paper pushed MESA to its limits so in certain regimes, it would be
difficult to get it converge. In your specific case, you are running a
low-mass (4 Mearth) planet with substantial amount of H/He (20%) at an
extremely close orbital radius. You could play around with the initial
timsteps (which I found to be helpful in certain runs), but I would
personally be surprised if you ended up getting that configuration running
out to beyond ~5 Gyr.

Best,
Howard
