This test case checks the implementation of GYRE in MESA for a cooling 0.85 Msun white dwarf model.

This test case has 1 part.

* Part 1 (``inlist_pulse_wd``) loads a pre-built 0.85 Msun white dwarf model and evolves the model until the effective temperature drops below log10(Teff/K) = 4. During the evolution the ``run_star_extras.f90`` calls GYRE, processes the GYRE output, and searches for a non-radial g-mode frequency of 2.2e-3 Hz (period of 454 s). Close matches to this target frequency are reported in the terminal:
