Common Networks#

pynucastro provides the common_networks module to automatically create some commonly-used networks.

The current networks are:

aprox13 : the 13-isotope \(\alpha\)-chain network. This can be created via:
```
net = pyna.common_networks.aprox13()
```
See The “aprox13” network for details on the approximations used in this network.
MESA’s basic.net : the 8-isotope H/He burning network that MESA uses for basic stellar evolution. This can be created via:
```
net = pyna.common_networks.mesa_basic()
```
See MESA basic.net Network for details on the approximations used in this network.
cno : a general network appropriate to CNO/hot-CNO burning with rp-breakout. This is based on the MESA cno_extras network, but it has a few more reverse rates.
```
net = pyna.common_networks.cno()
```
See CNO burning network for details on the approximations used in this network.
