Tools for Astrophysics: MESA and NuGrid
arXiv:1210.7770
Abstract
These notes provide a tutorial for those who want to use the state-of-the-art stellar evolution code MESA and post-processing nucleosyntheis tools of NuGrid. As an example, an application of MESA and NuGrid tools for simulations of a nova outburst and associated nucleosynthesis occurring on a 1.3 Msun ONe white dwarf is presented.
