vice.singlezone.schmidt_index¶
Type : real number
Default : 0.5
The power-law index on gas-dependent star formation efficiency, if applicable:
\[\tau_\star^{-1} \sim M_g^{\alpha}\]
Note
This attribute is irrelevant when the attribute tau_star
is a function of two variables.
Note
This number should be 1 less than the power law index which describes the scaling of star formation with the surface density of gas.

Example Code¶
>>> import vice
>>> sz = vice.singlezone(name = "example")
>>> sz.schmidt_index = 0.5
>>> sz.schmidt_index = 0.4
