Where to find full core-to-surface profiles of stars?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for ready-made core-to-surface profiles of stars for computational purposes, specifically using the MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) tool. Users are seeking databases that provide detailed stellar models, including mass, density, and temperature, rather than just isochrones or evolutionary tracks. Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard's research is highlighted as a potential resource for these models, suggesting that his site may contain valuable data for asteroseismology applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics)
  • Understanding of stellar evolution concepts
  • Knowledge of asteroseismology
  • Basic skills in data retrieval from scientific databases
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard's website for stellar models and profiles
  • Research asteroseismology databases for core-to-surface stellar profiles
  • Learn how to utilize MESA for evolving stellar models
  • Investigate other astrophysical databases that may offer detailed stellar data
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysicists, and researchers involved in stellar modeling and asteroseismology who require detailed stellar profiles for computational analysis.

I need to run some computations using an initial star. I could evolve one using MESA but it'd be very convenient if I could download a ready made profile/model of a star which details things like mass, dens, temp, etc, from core to surface. I've googled for a long time but I just keep getting isochrones and evolutionary tracks. Anyone know of a good site/database?

Have you checked for models provided for asteroseismology?
Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard relies heavily on these models; perhaps searching
pages on his site or research in particular will uncover what you need?

It looks like he is also using MESA, though...
Hmmmm...
