[Mesa-users] Trouble with 1M_pre_ms_to_wd

[Josiah Schwab]

Hi Madison,

I suspect something was slightly different about the runs beyond changing
the history (different inlists, starting the run in slightly different
ways, say at pre-MS or ZAMS, etc.)

Note that for the bulk of the evolution the models are almost identical.
It's just that one of the models had a very late thermal pulse and the
other one didn't.

Experience has shown that whether we get late thermal pulses in the
1M_pre_ms_to_wd test case is sensitive to tiny changes.  So it's not too
surprising to me to see that happen.

Does the presence of the VLTP affect the science you're trying to do?  If
not, just ignore it.

Josiah
