rsp_BEP

This test case checks the non-linear pulsation evolution of a 0.26 Msun, Teff = 6968 K, L = 33 Lsun, Z = 0.01 metallicity model - a binary evolution pulsator similar the one shown in Smolec et al (2013).

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

  • Part 1 (inlist_rsp_BEP) creates the initial 0.26 Msun, Teff = 6968 K, L = 33 Lsun, Z = 0.01 metallicity model, and writes the results of conducting a linear nonadiabatic stability analysis to the LOGS directory (see Section 2.2 of MESA V for details). The evolution with RSP then begins. After 10 periods, the run_star_extras.f90 checks if the energy conservation is less than 1e-5 and if fundamental period is within 1% of the expected 0.620728 day period. If these values are within bounds, then a message is written to the terminal and the run terminates:

rel_run_E_err   4.0689950095995592E-009
good match for period  0.62459621363634887       0.62072799999999995
