Average radial profiles of density and temperature for the N12 model (solid lines) and our mapping of the N12 model into the Castro code (dashed lines). The slight decrease in temperature, especially toward the core, is a result of resetting the composition to a 50/50 mix of carbon and oxygen as described in the text. The vertical dotted line shows the location where we reconstructed a model in HSE.
