Stopping Conditions

If none of these fields are filled out, MESA has built-in stopping conditions corresponding to unphysical changes or computationally strenuous next steps that will stop the simulation.

Terminate if inital overflow?

Accretor overflow:

Maximum model number:

Maximum simulation age: e
