Sukhbold et al. (2016), ApJ, 821, 38 W18 Engine with Forced Explosions

Signature: from vice.yields.ccsne.S16 import W18F

New in version 1.2.0.

Importing this module will automatically set the CCSN yield settings for all elements to the IMF-averaged yields calculated with the Sukhbold et al. (2016) yield table under the W18F explosion engine for [M/H] = 0 stars. This will adopt an upper mass limit of 120 \(M_\odot\).

We provide core collapse supernova yields for non-rotating progenitors at solar metallicity only as reported by Sukhbold et al. (2016) under the W18F explosion engine.

For details on the nature of the forced explosion model, see discussion in Griffith et al. (2021) [1].

Tip

By importing this module the user does not sacrifice the ability to specify their yield settings directly.

Note

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

Note

When this module is imported, the yields will be updated with a maximum of 10^5 bins in quadrature to decrease computational overhead. For some elements, the yield calculation may not converge. To rerun the yield calculation with higher numerical precision, simply call set_params with a new value for the keyword Nmax (see below).
