Specifications of the MESA reference stellar model

Notes. Y0 is the initial helium mass fraction; αMLT is the mixing length parameter; ηR and ηB are the Reimers and Blöcker scaling factors for the mass loss prescriptions on the RGB and AGB, respectively; αov, H, αov, He, and αov, env are the H-core overshooting, He-core overshooting, and envelope undershooting parameters, respectively, in units of the pressure scale height HP; αsc and αth are the efficiencies of semi-convection and thermohaline convection following Eqs. (12) and (14) of Paxton et al. (2013), respectively; ΩZAMScrit is the ratio between the angular velocity at the ZAMS and the surface critical angular velocity for the star to be dislocated. These physical ingredients are described in Sect. 2. ( * )αsc is always 0 except when considering core-He overshooting. In that case, we set αsc = 0.1.
