vice.multizone.n_stars¶
Type : int
Default : 1
The number of star particles to form per zone per timestep. These are
tracer particles which are stand-ins for entire stellar populations
which form and migrate between zones according to the attribute
migration.stars
.
Note
If the star formation rate varies in the simulation, this will impact the simulation by forming star particles of different masses as opposed to a different number of star particles.
Example Code¶
>>> import vice
>>> mz = vice.multizone(name = "example")
>>> mz.n_stars
1
>>> mz.n_stars = 3
>>> mz.n_stars
3
