Tidal Dissipation in Evolved Low and Intermediate Mass Stars

MESA inlist files used for the simulations presented in the paper "Tidal Dissipation in Evolved Low and Intermediate Mass Stars" by Mats Esseldeurs, Stéphane Mathis, and Leen Decin. The inlist files are used to run the MESA stellar evolution code release-r23.05.1 and MESA-SDK version 21.4.1.

In addition to the inlist files, the tidal Love numbers for the equilibrium and dynamical tide are provided in the .h5 (HDF5) files. An example on how to make the images in the paper with these files is given in the Equilibrium.py file.

This study was done in collaboration between the KU Leuven and the CEA Paris-Saclay. M. Esseldeurs and L.
