[Mesa-users] Understaing How to use MESA

[Francis Timmes]

hi karan,

i think it is awesome that you want to use mesa for your science fair!

to help understand where things stand, have gotten through http://mesa.sourceforge.net/starting.html ?
if installing mesa is too much, other options exist such as http://mesa-web.asu.edu .

one possibility that aligns with your interests is to explore 
how the isotopic abundances change as a 1 msun star evolves.

I want to use MESA due to my immense passion for stellar evolution but I am having trouble thinking of a problem or hypothesis that I could realistically do at my level. Currently, I am thinking of either doing something with either isotopic abundances of evolving stars or looking at the parts of stars undergoing nuclear fusion but I am not fully confident in my ability to do either idea. I am hoping to get some advice for my science fair project as I have an idea but I am not sure how to put it into words and I am unsure of how to use MESA effectively.
