[Mesa-users] [mesa-users] j_rot profile -- units

[Amedeo Romagnolo]

Hi Ebraheem,

Thanks a lot for the information and all the other ones you kindly share!

Can I just add a small question, here? Am I blind or there is no way in the
profile columns to save the angular momentum, i.e. the one expressed in
g*cm^2/s ?

Cheers and thanks,

Amedeo
