[Mesa-users] No correction using Kjeldsen

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Erica,

The problem is in this line of `&inlist_astero_search_controls`:

     l0_n_obs(:) = 6

This needs to be a range of values: 1 to 6 works.  You can either set each element of the array `l0_n_obs` on its own line or use

     l0_n_obs(:) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

In principle, I think these values are meant to be the "observed" radial orders but, in practice, they only need to be correct relative to each other.

Arrays in Fortran namelists can be confusing because they sometimes don't work like Fortran source would.  MESA's defaults can confuse things further because they're actually included as source and compiled, unlike the actual inlists.

Cheers,
Warrick
