[Mesa-users] Fwd: Evolution of a 9M_sun ZAMS star up to to core collapse

[amar at aries.res.in]

Dear Jared, 

Many thanks for your extensive reply. We are going through it and hope your suggestions will really be extremely helpful. Meanwhile, I am using MESA version 11701 on ubuntu 20.04 OS . 

With best regards, 
Amar

Dear fxt, 

Here I attach the png plot almost at the end of the evolution (inlist_finish). 



With best regards, 
Amar

hi amar, 

will you share a plot of the final mass fractions from this 9 msun run?

Here I wish to mention that a few months back, we were struggling to get going with a 12M_sun ZAMS star progenitor but with some changes, we could successfully model ( with excessive bits of help from Jared Goldberg ) the 12M_sun ZAMS star and further got successful STELLA calculations providing the light curves and velocity evolutions.

Perhaps i’m just too impatient, but it takes longer than I’m willing to wait for the burning to make its way slowly to the center. with more massive models, the neon ignition is at the center so things go smoothly. you are welcome to try, but it might go easier if you can redefine your problem to 12M or more.

Gladly, I could evolve the star up to the stage of Fe core infall, using the default star/test_suit/example_make_pre_ccsn with few modifications. Although I could evolve the model up to Fe core infall, I am not sure about a few parameters to be physical :
