Magnetic field evolution in hot Exoplanets

The goal of this project is to use the Christensen relations in order to quantify the planetary dynamo of hot Exoplanets.

Prerequisites

1. MESA version 12115, found here. Do not try to use any other MESA version. The associated SDK is 20190830 (clicking this will begin the download). You may try to use a different SDK, but we do not recommend this.
2. Daria Kubyshkina's MESA inlists. Found here
3. mesa_reader to interface with MESA data in python. Found here.
4. Mors to account for stellar evolution. Found here.

Workflow

Follow the inlist instructions to generate MESA files. Consult The_MESA_log.pdf for detailed instructions regarding installation and working with the inlists.

After getting them to run, edit run_star_extras_evol_Mors0.f with the contents of Utilities/customsaving.f. This is necessary in order to prompt MESA to adequately sample every period in the planetary lifetime. To get all the neccecery outputs from MESA, look at Utilities/profile_columns_backup.f.

The code expects to find the MESA output in folder named data, in the same directory as the repository, like so:

.
├── src # contents of the repo
├── data
