wd_stable_h_burn

This test case checks the evolution stable hydrogen burning on a white dwarf.

This test case has 1 parts. Click to see a larger version of a plot.

  • Part 1 (inlist_wd_stable_h_burn) loads 1.1M_lgTc_7.7.mod, a prebuilt 1.1 Msun carbon oxygen white dwarf from the make_co_wd test suite in r13738 with an an initial_mass of 6.4 Msun. The mass is relaxed to 1.0 Msun, the optical depth is relaxed to 300, and a hydrogen-rich composition is accreted at 2.5e7 Msun/yr. After about 100 year of evolution there is a hydrogen burning outburst followed by a period of stable hydrogen burning:
