[Mesa-users] lithium abundance in convective core

[Bill Paxton]

Hi Sebastien,

Good to hear from you again!    

I’ll take a look at this using your inlist, but 1st I want to check on the mass of the model.  Your inlist doesn’t set the mass or initial_z.  What should those be?

Cheers,
bill

I also attach a plot of Li7 versus radius, with the convective part highlighted in purple, where it can be seen that the LI7 abundance is not constant in the core. I did rapid calculations, which indicate that the timescale for lithium burning is around 4 minutes in the center while the convective mixing timescale should be around 4 days (if I didn't make mistakes).
