Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Pulsating Variable Stars, Rotation, Convective Boundaries, and Energy Conservation

Bill Paxton, R. Smolec, Josiah Schwab, Alfred Gautschy et al.

Short summary

The MESA stellar evolution code now models nonlinear radial pulsations of variable stars (like RR Lyrae and Cepheids) and improves energy conservation to better than 0.001% during events like the He flash.
