[Mesa-users] White Dwarf Accretion

[Frank Timmes]

hi luke,

not enough detail is provided for anyone to offer any suggestions. for example, is this a 0.6 msun or near m_chandra wd? what is mdot? best practice is to attach one's inlist(s) and any custom run_star_extras.

They immediately fall into fractions of a second which makes the simulation unproductive. Are there any good ways to better manage the timesteps in this case?
