vice.yields.ccsne.engines

Core collapse supernova explosion engines: explodability as a function of progenitor mass in solar masses.

Signature: from vice.yields.ccsne import engines

New in version 1.2.0.

Tip

Instances of the engine class can be passed as the keyword argument explodability to vice.yields.ccsne.fractional to calculate IMF-averaged yields assuming a particular black hole landscape. The impact of these assumptions is explored in Griffith et al. (2021) [1].

Contents

enginetype

The base class implemented in this module.

cutoffengine

An engine characterized by a threshold mass, below which stars explode as CCSNe, and above which stars collapse directly to a black hole.

E16engine

An engine implementing the Ertl et al. (2016) [2] model, characterized by the two parameters \(M_4\) and \(\mu_4\).

S16module

Explodability maps as reported by the various models in Sukhbold et al. (2016) [3].
