[Mesa-users] Electron Capture in High Density Regimes

[Joseph Hellmers]

Hello,

Does MESA include electron captures, i.e. inverse beta decay, in its reaction calculations?  I can see from the docs, 

https://docs.mesastar.org/en/latest/reference/star_job.html?highlight=beta#use-suzuki-weak-ratesthere <https://docs.mesastar.org/en/latest/reference/star_job.html?highlight=beta#use-suzuki-weak-ratesthere>

there are provisions for using special rates, but I’m wondering if there is a particular reaction library that most be chosen, so some other configuration that must be used to include them.

Thanks,
Joe
