vice.toolkit.J21_sf_law.Sigma_g1 ================================ Type : float Default : 5.0e+06 The lower of the two surface densities of gas at which there is a break in the :math:`\dot{\Sigma}_\star - \Sigma_\text{gas}` relation. Below this value, the relation scales as a power-law with index set by the attribute ``index1``. Assumes units of :math:`M_\odot kpc^{-2}`. .. note:: The value of this attribute should be smaller than that of the attribute ``Sigma_g2``, the larger of the two surface densities of gas. Default values are chosen based on the aggregate data from Bigiel et al. (2010) [1]_ and Leroy et al. (2013) [2]_ presented in Krumholz et al. (2018) [3]_. Example Code ------------ >>> import vice >>> mw = vice.milkyway(name = "example") >>> mw.zones[0].tau_star.Sigma_g1 5.0e+06 >>> for i in range(mw.n_zones): >>> mw.zones[i].tau_star.Sigma_g1 = 6.0e+06 >>> mw.zones[0].tau_star.Sigma_g1 6.0e+06 ..
