Class MockDelay

Overrides: Delay.__init__

Fraction of total carbon yield from stars of mass m, dfC/dm, i.e. the distribution of carbon production as a function of stellar mass.

This is weighted by the stellar initial mass function (IMF), so that metal_mass_dist(m) * dm is the fraction of carbon emitted by stars with masses between m and m+dm.

Note that this is normalized over the interval from self.lowMass to self.highMass.

Overrides: Delay.metal_mass_dist

(inherited documentation)

Complementary cumulative distribution of metal yield by mass, i.e. the fraction of the total metal output produced by stars above mass m.

This is the integral of metal_mass_dist from m to highMass (or self.highMass).

Note that this is normalized over the interval from self.lowMass to self.highMass, so values may be negative above highMass and greater than one below lowMass.

kwargs get passed to utils.ccumulate, which may passes them to utils.integrate_piecewise, which may pass them to the integration routine.

See also: metal_mass_dist.

Overrides: Delay.metal_mass_dist_postinterp

(inherited documentation)

The initial mass function.

Note that the normalization may include stars that do not contribute to the yield of metals.

Overrides: Delay.imf

(inherited documentation)

Carbon yield from a star of mass m.

This is the total mass of carbon emitted by a single star of mass m over its lifetime.
