[Mesa-users] Modeling a Low-Mass Gas-Rich Planet

[Howard Chen]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for looking at our paper. We have indeed encounter issues at some
combination of initial planets mass and planet core mass and/or
irradiation. We don't have a solution for them yet. I'd suggest trying a
different combination of planet mass + core mass.

Btw, I should note that the version of our code posted on Mesa markplace is
significantly out of date. I can send you a more updated version that also
works with python 3 if you'd like.

I can also try to looking at any other problems you may encounter along the
way.


Best,
Howard

Best,
Howard
