Re: mesa-users] Adding a new nuclear reaction rates in MESA

[Aaron D. <aar...@gm...>]

Hi Zahra,

Yes, you can test the rates being used by the rates module.  Bill and I have
looked at this and the easiest way to check the rate is to edit the rates
module test code in mesa/rates/test/src/test_rates.f.  There is a subroutine
called "test1" that prints out the rate of one reaction for one temperature,
though you could easily modify this to do a loop over temperature.

At the very bottom of test_rates.f is the line
      !call test1; stop

Uncomment that line and then modify subroutine test1 to use the rate and
temperature(s) that you want.  Change the rate by setting ir to the rate ID
you've added to rate_list.txt.

Then do a ./mk and ./rn in mesa/rates/test/.  Simply change the entry in
rate_list.txt and then run again to see the difference.

Since mesa/star uses mesa/rates, once you're sure that it's working as you
expect in the rates test code, it should also be working as you expect in
mesa/star.
