eos module controls¶
The MESA/eos parameters are given default values here. The actual values as modified by your inlist are stored in the EoS_General_Info data structure. They can be accessed by code at runtime using the eos_handle to get a pointer to it.
PC EOS controls¶
mass_fraction_limit_for_PC¶
Only consider isotopes in the EOS if their mass fraction is above this value.
mass_fraction_limit_for_PC = 1d-4
logRho1_PC_limit¶
logRho2_PC_limit¶
Blend in logRho from no PC for below logRho1_PC_limit
to all PC above logRho2_PC_limit.
logRho1_PC_limit = 2.999d0 ! keep < logRho2_OPAL_SCVH_limit
logRho2_PC_limit = 2.8d0 ! must be > 2.8 or so to avoid NaN's from PC
logT1_PC_limit¶
logT2_PC_limit¶
Blend in logT from all PC for below logT1_PC_limit
to no PC above logT2_PC_limit.
Unused by default. See subsequent controls.
logT1_PC_limit = 7.6d0 ! okay for pure PC for logT < this (like logT_all_OPAL)

log_Gamma_e_all_PC¶
If PC_use_Gamma_limit_instead_of_T is true, then these
controls are active instead of logT1_PC_limit and
logT2_PC_limit. Here, \(\Gamma_e\) is the electron
Coulomb coupling parameter. Blend in log_Gamma_e from no PC for
below log_Gamma_e_all_HELM to all PC above
log_Gamma_e_all_PC.
