Prevent TDC with predictive mixing

5

First stab at addressing gh-issue-[607](https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/issues/607). I added an error that gets printed if predictive mixing is called while TDC is on. We could probably flag it earlier so you can't...

fix/test pgbinary crashing in single star mode

1

See [gh-issue-634](https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/issues/634), this should fix a bug that crashed pgbinary when running in single-star mode with intel-based compilers. This did not affect my m1 machine. The issue and fix were...

predictive mixing segfault

1

See the mailing-list thread: https://lists.mesastar.org/pipermail/mesa-users/2023-November/014916.html An example (which crashes near timestep 19200, with a photo at timestep 19000 provided) can be downloaded here. [example_predictive_mixing_segfault.tar.gz](https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/files/13505214/example_predictive_mixing_segfault.tar.gz) where a 10Msun r23.05.1 MESA model...

Add pgstar decorator to mark solver progress in Trho profiles + Kippenhahn diagrams

1

In an effort to make MESA's solver struggles more transparent to normal users, I think it would be appropriate to add 1, 2, or 3 dots using a pgstar Decorator...

fix rates detailed balance

4

See https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/issues/575. I've modified the detailed balance routine to account for an arbitrary number of reactants and products in the forward and reverse channel. Someone should double check me if...

inconsistency between photo and mod file restarts

7

Inspired by testing the following merged branch: https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/pull/597. This branch implemented some mathematical identities into the thermal neutrino module which should in theory be identical to the math it replaced....

Missing documentation in binary_controls.defaults : sync_mode = "tdyn_div_tkh"

1

Following a recent MESA-user mailing list post, I looked into the binary_controls.defaults to find that there no documentation to toggle the 'sync_mode' &control 'tdyn_div_tkh', which exists in $MESA_DIR/binary/private/binary_tides.f90: subroutine sync_spin_to_orbit....

no burning at lowT, lower the default jina rate floor.

See : https://lists.mesastar.org/pipermail/mesa-users/2024-May/015169.html See also https://docs.mesastar.org/en/release-r24.03.1/reference/star_job.html#jina-reaclib-min-t9 "set jina reaclib rates to zero for T9

lower jina rate floor

1

See: https://github.com/MESAHub/mesa/issues/645 We currently have the default reaclib_min_T9 = 1d-2 (i.e. no reactions below 10 MK) as a MESA default, I would like to bring this down so we are...
