[Mesa-users] inlist for ~2Ms star terminating on the TP-AGB, mesa v10398

[amber lauer]

Hey Warrick, just a quick question about your minimal inlist_project.

Can you give me a rough idea how far you ran it before you reached 34
thermal pulses?

I ran the attached inlist, modeled after yours, and at 2.98e9 yrs, 50K
models, and a log L/L=~4, log Teff=!~3.6 it is still hung on the second
pulse. FYI it stays roughly at that position for about 30
k models, see attached images. I'm running v 10398, sdk from 1/18.  Thanks
