[Mesa-users] Cooling a CO White Dwarf

[Josiah Schwab]

Hi Charlie,

I need to see the star cool to a surface temperature of 3500K-4000K (The
> point where photosynthesis can no longer occur at an efficient rate).

Then you probably want to find a different stellar evolution code :)  MESA
does not have the constitutive physics (eos, opacities) to support going
that cool.  Your model problems almost certainly stem from that root cause.
