   This modeled pure He flames and used "boosted" flames, which were
   artificially sped up.

   This explored both 2D and 3D pure He flames.  Another change was in
   the lower boundary condition -- a reflecting boundary was used an
   `castro.use_pslope` was enabled.  The inputs files for this are in
   `inputs_He/` and also available on Zenodo:

+# subchandra
+
+This is the double detonation Type Ia supernova setup.  It takes a 1-d
+initial model representing a sub-Chandra WD and a surface He layer and
+initializes a small perturbation at the pole in the He layer.
+
+Initial models for this setup can be created via
+https://github.com/AMReX-Astro/initial_models in the sub_chandra/ directory.
+
+This setup has been used in the following papers:
+
+* Zingale et al. 2022
+  (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022ApJ...936....6Z/abstract)
+
+  This paper introduced the simplified-SDC time-integration method and
+  used the double detonation setup as a test problem.
+
+* Zingale et al. 2024
+  (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023arXiv230901802Z/abstract)
+
+  This paper showed that the simplified-SDC method can model double
+  detonations without cutting the timestep or limiting the reaction
+  rates.  It also explored disabling burning in shocks for this
+  problem.
