[mesa-users] very thin shell burning

[Kent B. <kg...@la...>]

So I'm running some Population III calculations at the lower end of the
mass range, and the very thin shell burning on the giant branch is
taking *forever*. 

What's the latest thinking about mass loss in Population III? I know
it's thought to be rather low, but just how rather low?

What is the state of the art in modeling very thin shell burning? Brute
force seems, well, like brute force. Are there methods out there that
treat it as a front propagation problem?

Interested in any information anyone has.
