Light Curves and Event Rates of Axion Instability Supernovae

These files are MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) inlists that can reproduce results in Mori et al. (2022) (https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.03517). MESA version 12778 and MESA SDK version x86_64-linux-20.3.2 are used. Before running the code, the user should edit MESA following the instruction in Sakstein, Croon &amp; McDermott (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6347632). PISN.tar.gz includes inlists for standard pair-instability supernovae while AISN_0.5.tar.gz and AISN_2.0.tar.gz are for axion instability supernovae with f=0.5 (i.e. ALP mass = 511 keV) and f=2.0 (i.e. ALP mass = 511*4 keV), respectively. Each directory consists of directories like "heavy_new_particle_100". The three digit number indicates the initial stellar mass. The users are encouraged to cite the following papers when they write a paper using these inlists. Mori et al. (2022), arXiv:2209.03517 Sakstein, Croon &amp; McDermott (2022) Phys. Rev.
