=================================

Type : ``list`` [elements of type ``float``]

The quantity :math:`\mu_4` at the time of core collapse for stars with
ZAMS masses given by the attribute ``masses``. :math:`\mu_4` is defined
as the normalized mass derivative in a region defined by the
dimensionless energy per nucleon of :math:`s` = 4:

.. math:: \mu_4 \equiv (dm/M_\odot)/(dr/1000 km)|_{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.
