Karakas & Lugaro (2016), Karakas et al. (2018) Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star yields

Signature: from vice.yields.agb import karakas16

New in version 1.3.0.

Importing this module will set the AGB star yield setting for all elements to “karakas16”. This module combines the yields for \(Z\) = 0.007, 0.014, and 0.03 progenitors from Karakas & Lugaro (2016) [1] with the yields for \(Z\) = 0.0028 progenitors from Karakas et al. (2018) [2] (a metallicity characteristic of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud). AGB star yields will then be calculated using bi-linear interpolation in progenitor mass and metallicity using these data to determine AGB star yields in chemical evolution models.

Note

This module is not imported with a simple import vice statement.
