[Mesa-users] Inclination of the star rotation axis and the visibility of pulsation modes

Dear all,

I am new in working with MESA, and I am trying to make it simulate 
oscillating stars which also have a high rotation velocity. My objective 
with the simulations is to compare them with experimental data, so I 
also need to take into account the inclination of the star rotation axis 
with its line of sight.

Is there any option or tool in MESA to estimate the effect of the angle 
of observation in the pulsation modes visibilty? And also, does GYRE 
consider in its calculations the distribution of temperature and 
luminosity which are caused by the gravity darkening effect?

I suppose GYRE takes that effect into account, but I wanted to confirm it.

Best regards,

Antonio Varo
