[Mesa-users] Question about calculating electron densities for high mass stars

[Josiah Schwab]

Hi Jeremy,

Is lnfree_e called in the star pointer? I am using this in other_neu so I

Why don't you check yourself?  It'll be good practice :)

No, ye is defined relative to the ions, just zbar / abar.

So I think values derived in these two ways should start to be different
once you have pair production and you can use the difference to get the
pair density.
