[Mesa-users] How to detect a radiative core

[Roque Caballero Navarro]

Dear all,

    I'm looking a way for detecting when the star develops a radiative core. Among the parameters available in the history_column.list file I couldn't find any which informs about this stage. On the contrary, I have found the following:

mass_conv_core ! (Msun) mass coord of top of convective core.  0 if core is not convective

Is it correct to assume that if this value is 0 the star has radiative core? If that isn't the right way for deriving this condition, I'd highly appreciate any further suggestion.

Many thanks,

Roque
