[Mesa-users] Electron Capture in High Density Regimes

[Josiah Schwab]

Hi Joe,

Using the simulation wd_c_core_ignition as a starting point, I added the

This information is printed to the terminal at the start of the run.  You
might output the terminal output in a file so you can examine it more
easily, e.g.,

    ./rn | tee rn.out

> approx21.net’).


Yes, that alpha-chain network is an example of a net that may not have the
isos/reactions you're interested in.

As an example of the sort of thing you may want to do, I attach my
implementations of two nets from Förster et al. (2010).
