[Mesa-users] Schwarzschild and Ledoux Criteria

[Antigoni Georgiadou]

Hello,


I am working on stellar evolution applications with the MESA code and I wanted to ask about the way MESA operates for the Schwarzschild and Ledoux criteria.


For example, for a massive star of 30 Msun using the Schwarzschild criterion does not seem to be equivalent to using the Ledoux criterion with semiconvective parameter equal to 0.


I would really appreciate it if you can help me understanding this difference. I think it shouldn't appear any different.


Many thanks,
