Let's build upon the solar models that you performed in Week 2. Run the a one-solar-mass model using 1M_pre_ms_to_wd. Idenify the various regions on the H-R diagram for the main sequence, giant branch, horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch and plot the profiles of density, temperature, energy generation as a function of radius for each stage. Also plot temperature against density on a log-log plot to identify the convective and radiative regions.

Repeat the analysis for a 0.3 solar-mass star and a 3 solar-mass star.
