GARSTEC—the Garching Stellar Evolution Code. The direct descendant of the legendary Kippenhahn code
Abstract
We describe the Garching Stellar Evolution Code. General features, treatment of the microphysics, details of the numerical solution, handling and particularities are discussed. The standard solar model serves as the most basic benchmark to test the accurateness of the code and is presented, too.
