Abstract

To conduct my research, the software suite ' MESA’(Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) was used to run simulations of planetary evolution. I focused on altering the host star’s metallicity fraction “Z”. By definition, metallicity is the fraction of a star that is made up of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. For context, our Sun has a metallicity of Z=0.0122(1.22%)
