# README for Huscher et al. (2025) MESA Fortran Source Files
--------------------------------------------------------------

This directory contains MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) Fortran source files used to calculate the AGB stellar models presented in:

> Huscher, E. et al. (2025), AGB Mass-loss Rates and Metal Yields from Scaled Mixing-length and Mass-loss Parameters


## Contents
-------------

These Fortran files incorporate routines developed by Rees et al 2024 to monitor and adjust the spatial and temporal resolution during the third dredge-up 
to navigate complex thermal pulsing behavior and to manage the Fe Peak and Hydrogen Recombination instabilities.

The src/agb_run_star_extras.inc file also contains routines to automatically set the mixing length and Blocker scaling parameters based on the model's
initial metallicity and mass as described in Huscher et al 2025.


## MESA Version
-----------------

All models were calculated using:
- MESA version: r24.08.1
- MESA SDK version: 23.7.3
