vice.multizone.n_stars ====================== Type : ``int`` Default : 1 The number of star particles to form per zone per timestep. These are tracer particles which are stand-ins for entire stellar populations which form and migrate between zones according to the attribute ``migration.stars``. .. note:: If the star formation rate varies in the simulation, this will impact the simulation by forming star particles of different masses as opposed to a different number of star particles. Example Code ------------ >>> import vice >>> mz = vice.multizone(name = "example") >>> mz.n_stars 1 >>> mz.n_stars = 3 >>> mz.n_stars 3
