vice.singlezone.postMS

Type : real number

Default : 0.1

New in version 1.1.0.

The ratio of a star’s post main sequence lifetime to its main sequence lifetime.

Note

This parameter has no impact when the stellar mass-lifetime relations of either Vincenzo et al. (2016) [1] or Kodama & Arimoto (1997) [2] are adopted (i.e. when vice.mlr.setting is either "vincenzo2016" or "ka1997"). These parameterizations as they are built into VICE quantify the total lifetimes of stars, making a prescription for the post main sequence lifetimes superfluous.

Example Code

>>> import vice
>>> sz = vice.singlezone(name = "example")
>>> sz.postMS = 0.12
