The GYRE Forums

I have recently begun using GYRE on MESA models. Everything seems to work properly for l > 0 but when I said l=0 no modes are found. Is there an option I have to set when l=0? My output looks like this:

The reason GYRE isn't finding any l=0 modes is that you're scanning over a too-low frequency range. Radial (l=0) modes typically have a dimensionless eigenfrequency > 1. So, try shifting your freq_min and freq_max parameters in the &scan namelist to a higher frequency range.
