[Mesa-users] radius expansion in X-ray bursts

Hi,

I am working on the helium accretion on the neutron star that leads to
X-ray bursts. I use the module ns_h in mesa.

I am comparing the work from MESA with Kelper. I found some differences
between them. Can anyone tell me if MESA tracks the radius expansion in the
X-ray bursts? If yes, can anyone tell me more detail how it works? I
discovered that there is expansion in the mesa code but I would like
someone to tell me more about it. For example, how it is tracked?

Thank you.

Rita
