[Mesa-users] How is defined the upper limit of the star core?

[anne.thoul at uliege.be]

Hi Roque,

I am not sure what you mean by « star core » and « outermost limit of the center ».

In the history file you can for example decide to have the mass of the convective core  mass_conv_core (provided the star has a convective core). 
There is also the he_core_mass. 

For the exact definition of these quantities, you can proceed like Bill explained.

I hope this helps

Anne
