vice.singlezone.MgSchmidt ========================= Type : real number Default : 6.0e+09 The normalization of the gas supply in :math:`M_\odot` when star formation efficiency is dependent on the gas supply: .. math:: \tau_\star \sim \left(\frac{M_g}{M_{g,\text{Schmidt}}}\right)^{-\alpha} where :math:`\alpha` is specified by the attribute ``schmidt_index``. .. note:: This attribute is irrelevant when the attribute ``tau_star`` is a function of two variables. .. tip:: In practice, this quantity should be comparable to a typical gas supply of the simulated zone so that the actual star formation efficiency at a given timestep is near the user-specified value. .. seealso:: - vice.singlezone.tau_star - vice.singlezone.schmidt - vice.singlezone.schmidt_index Example Code ------------ >>> import vice >>> sz = vice.singlezone(name = "example") >>> sz.MgSchmidt = 5.0e+09
