Reproduction Package for the Paper "Tip of the Red Giant Branch Bounds on the Neutrino Magnetic Dipole Moment Revisited".

File Organization

• MESA: MESA modifications to include losses due to the neutrino magnetic dipole moment, scripts to run the grid of models, and post processing pipeline scripts including the Worthey \& Lee bolometric correction code.
• ML_models: Machine learning code to train and use the models as well as the models themselves.
• analysis: Plotting code to create figures for papers and presentations.
• makeGrids: Scripts to create the different input grid files to run MESA on.
• mcmc: Scripts and plots for the MCMC analysis.
• mesa_data: All MESA models generated in this project.
• environment.yml: Conda environment for analysis and the mcmc. 

More details can be found in the README files within each directory.
