MESA inlists for Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Giant Planets

We provide run scripts for the planetary models used in the article entitled “Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Giant Planets” by Fuller et al., 2026. The models are generated using the MESA stellar evolution code, version 24.08.1, and MESA SDK version 24.7.1. They include custom equation of state tables provided in Helled et al. 2025 (https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202556537). MESA should be compiled as instructed in that paper.

The models can be run by executing the run script in the Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus folders. This creates an initial planetary model using the inlist_create file, which is saved. It then evolves that model for 4.5 Gyr using the inlist_evolve_z1 file. Both parts also use the inlist_shared file for some of the control parameters.
