 +
 +  - Make sure everyone got the pre-test done and correct.
 +  - Re-run the pre-test, reducing the temperature in the thermodynamic file
 +    * Find the minimum temperatures at which silicon burning, oxygen burning and carbon burning occur.
 +  - Grab a new (larger, 150 species) sunet_sn150.txt from the document server.
 +    * Rename sunet_150.txt to sunet
 +    * Build a new Data directory from REACLIB
 +    * Create a new initial abundance file (matching the composition in the pretest)
 +    * Run same test problem with new network
 +    * Compare results to pre-test.
 +    * Compare timing of pre-test to new problem.
 +
 + 
 +Additional possibilities:​
 +
 +**Run a reaction network with given nuclear input for:**
 +
 +  - Fixed temperature and density
 +    * Try various temperatures and densities
 +    * Try different network sizes
 +    * Swap out a reaction rate with a different version
 +    * Vary initial composition (X, Y, Z or Ye)
 +    * Let evolve until Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium is reached
 +  - Temperature/​density trajectories
 +
 +    * $ T(t) = T(0)\exp{(-t/​\tau)} $ or $\ T(t) = T(0)(1+\frac{t}{n\tau})^{-n} $
 +
 +    * $ [1.+f_{\nu}(T(0))]\rho (t) = \rho (0) [1.+f_{\nu}(T(t))](T(t)/​T(0))^3$
 +
 +
 +    * How do initial conditions affect the resulting nucleosynthesis
 +    * How does the trajectory form affect the results?
