vice.singlezone.Mg0

Type : real number

Default : 6.0e+09

The mass of the ISM gas at time = 0 in \(M_\odot\) when ran in infall mode.

Note

This parameter only matters when the simulation is ran in infall mode (i.e. mode == “ifr”). In gas mode, func(0) specifies the initial gas supply, and in star formation mode, it is func(0) * tau_star(0) (modulo the prefactors imposed by gas-dependent star formation efficiency, if applicable).

Example Code

>>> import vice
>>> sz = vice.singlezone(name = "example")
>>> sz.Mg0 = 5.0e+09
>>> sz.Mg0 = 0.
