MESA

General Overview
- Good textbook by Edward Brown

- Run MESA as a supplementary test since many calculations on various conditions are already made by NuGrid collaboration and stored in CANFAR

MESA versions
- Sony VAIO laptop --> mesa-r11554 (2019 Mar. release)

- GCA server --> mesa-r10398 (2018 Mar. release). Updated to r12115 (2019 Sep. release).

Installation
Quite straight forward. Follow the official website

Useful test_suits
- 25M_pre_ms_to_core_collapse, since my first goal is studying s-process in massive stars.

- agb, c13_pocket are also very useful.

Plot output data
- py_mesa_reader. I made various .py files for various conditions, by coping from original sample .py files.
