The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We introduce a new treatment of radiation-dominated envelopes that allows the uninterrupted evolution of massive stars to core collapse. This enables the generation of new sets of supernovae, long gamma-ray burst, and pair-instability progenitor models.

C2weakest assumption

The numerical recasting of the Ledoux criterion and the new treatment of radiation-dominated envelopes accurately capture the underlying physics of mixing and envelope structure without introducing significant numerical artifacts or inaccuracies when solving the coupled stellar structure and composition equations.

C3one line summary

MESA Star has been substantially updated with new capabilities for low-mass giant planets, asteroseismology coupling, rotating star models, and uninterrupted massive star evolution to core collapse.
