MESA to STIR conversion

Inputs to MESA

MESA input consists of a work directory which includes project inlists (user configuration files), a run_star_extras/ folder for custom Fortran functions that hook into the MESA stellar evolution solve, and make/run/restart bash scripts. To carry out a MESA simulation locally on your laptop, compile with ./mk and run with ./rn.

Outputs from MESA

MESA outputs include history and profile data (will appear in the LOGS directory in your work folder), photos for restarting the simulation, and images (optional). We include output files for our fiducial mesa methods. You should be able to reproduce this output by running the inlists as they appear in the inputs section.
