[mesa-users] mesa + astroseismology -- we need comparison data

[Bill P. <pa...@ki...>]

Hi,

I'll be working with a couple students this summer testing mesa's ability to make models for astroseismology.
For "normal" stars from ZAMS to SGB, we will compare against the data from the wonderful CoRoT website (thanks to Yveline Lebreton!)
	http://www.astro.up.pt/corot/compmod/
They supply many models from many codes in FGONG format that we can use for comparisons -- it has already revealed a lot.

It would be tremendously useful to have similar comparison data for other cases such as evolved stars and WDs. 
Preferably, FGONG output for lots of important cases created by lots of codes that are the current state-of-the-art.

If you care about astroseismology and would like to see mesa be able to make stellar models for use doing science with the wonderful data that is flooding in, please help us get good comparison data!  If you know someone who has such data or could create it, please do some "out-reach".  ;-)

Thanks,
Bill
