Homogeneous Models

Setting the model_type option of the &model namelist group to 'HOM' tells the frontend to create a homogeneous (uniform density) stellar model, equivalent to a polytrope with index \(n=0\). Because the structure of these model can be computed analytically, there is no need to read from an external file.

The Gamma_1 option controls the first adiabatic index of the model, while the n, s and grid_type options control the model grid. See the Model Namelist Group section for further details.
