MESA Inlists for: Barium Surface Abundances of Blue Straggler Stars in the Open Clusters NGC 7789 and M67

These are the MESA v15140 inlists and Python script associated with the models presented in Nine et al. (2024). The files are as follows:

inlist, inlist_start_header, inlist_to_end_core_h_burn_header, inlist_to_start_he_core_flash_header, inlist_to_end_core_he_burn_header, inlist_to_end_agb_header, inlist_to_wd_header: Pointer files to tell MESA which inlists to read for control, kappa, and PGStar commands.

inlist_start, inlist_to_end_core_h_burn, inlist_to_start_he_core_flash, inlist_to_end_core_he_burn, inlist_to_end_agb, inlist_to_wd: MESA inlist files with control, kappa, and PGStar commands for each stage.

turnoff_masses.py: a Python script that takes in the file inlist_start_base and rewrites it to create a starting model with the mass of a turnoff star in NGC 7789 (1.8 solar masses), NGC 6819 (1.5 solar masses), M67 (1.3 solar masses), and NGC 188 (1.1 solar masses). This starting model is then used in the following inlists to create AGB star models with these masses.

inlist_start_base: The base starting inlist that turnoff_masses.py reads in and alters to create inlist_start.
