[Mesa-users] Running Z=0 massive star models

[Emily Whitehead]

Hi all,

I'm using MESA version 10398 to run zero metallicity massive star models, however they keep getting stuck in the pre-main sequence. I use the exponential diffusive mechanism for convective boundary mixing. I have included a HR diagram from one of the models.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Emily Whitehead
