vice.milkyway.tau_ia¶

Type : real number

Default: 1.5

The e-folding timescale in Gyr of an exponentially decaying delay-time distribution in type Ia supernovae. Default value is adopted from Weinberg, Andrews & Freudenburg (2017) [1].

Note

Because this is an e-folding timescale, it only matters when the attribute RIa == “exp”.

>>> import vice
>>> mw = vice.milkyway(name = "example")
>>> mw.tau_ia = 1.0
