vice.singlezone.schmidt_index ============================= Type : real number Default : 0.5 The power-law index on gas-dependent star formation efficiency, if applicable: .. math:: \tau_\star^{-1} \sim M_g^{\alpha} .. note:: This attribute is irrelevant when the attribute ``tau_star`` is a function of two variables. .. note:: This number should be 1 less than the power law index which describes the scaling of star formation with the surface density of gas. .. seealso:: - vice.singlezone.tau_star - vice.singlezone.schmidt - vice.singlezone.schmidt_index Example Code ------------ >>> import vice >>> sz = vice.singlezone(name = "example") >>> sz.schmidt_index = 0.5 >>> sz.schmidt_index = 0.4
