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
