vice.yields.ccsne.engines.E16.m4 ================================ Type : ``list`` [elements of type ``float``] The quantity :math:`M_4` at the time of core collapse for stars with ZAMS masses given by the attribute ``masses``. :math:`M_4` is defined as the normalized mass enclosed in a region defined by the dimensionless energy per nucleon of :math:`s` = 4. Ertl et al. (2016) [1]_ conclude that the quantities :math:`M_4` and :math:`\mu_4` can predict whether or not a massive star will produce a core collapse supernova based on the following criterion with only a few exceptions (~1 - 2.5%): .. math:: \mu_4 \leq a M_4 \mu_4 + b where they report :math:`a` = 0.283 and :math:`b` = 0.043 as best fit values. The values of :math:`a` and :math:`b` are controlled by the attributes ``slope`` and ``intercept`` respectively. .. note:: This attribute's values are adopted from Sukhbold et al. (2016) [2]_.
