We refer users to the MESA best practices webpage.
Entries submitted to this community must include all input files required to reproduce the output of MESA simulations. This should include a template work directory containing all inlists and, when appropriate, run_star_extras.f90 and/or run_binary_extras.f90 files. A brief description outlining how the provided files should be used to reproduce results must also be provided, e.g. in a README file. The repository description should specify which versions of MESA, the MESA SDK, and the OS used for the calculations.
We also encourage users to upload the output of their simulations, post-processing tools, and plotting scripts used for figures included in publications.
