MESA histories for "Characterizing Observed Extra Mixing Trends in Red Giants using the Reduced Density Ratio from Thermohaline Models"

This repository provides MESA history files for each of the stellar models in the publication "Characterizing Observed Extra Mixing Trends in Red Giants using the Reduced Density Ratio from Thermohaline Models". The MESA version used was stable release version 21.12.21. Runs are organized into tarballs according to the thermohaline mixing prescription used:

• BGS13 = Brown, Garaud, Stellmach 2013
• Kipp1e-1 = Kippenhahn with alpha_th = 0.1
• Kipp2 = Kippenhahn with alpha_th = 2
• Kipp7e2 = Kippenhahn with alpha_th = 700

and are additionally grouped according to the stellar mass (M = 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.7 in units of Msol). Within each tarball is a number of run directories which contain a LOGS/history.data file from the MESA run. The subdirectories in the tarball contain runs at various metallicities; conversion between Z (MESA input) and [Fe/H] (paper reported value) are found in Table 2 of the manuscript.

Inlists and information for recreating these MESA simulations can be found online at the paper's github repository: https://github.com/afraser3/Empirical-Magnetic-Thermohaline (a copy of the code from this Github repository is located in this Zenodo repository in: Empirical-Magnetic-Thermohaline-main.zip)
