Inputs to STELLA

A simplified version of the STELLA code is packaged in MESA in $MESA_DIR/stella/. STELLA is a 1D multi-group (frequency-dependent) Radiation- Hydrodynamics code which is useful for modeling bolometric lightcurves and other observables for core-collapse supernovae.

STELLA takes a mesa.hyd (contains hydrodynamic data) and mesa.abd (contains abundance data) file as input.

To run STELLA, go to your STELLA folder cd $MESA_DIR/stella and make sure the input files (mesa.hyd and mesa.abd) are placed in stella/modmake/. From the stella directory, run just like in MESA, via the command ./rn
