Stellar Examples

Initial Mass Function

This example is generated in examples/initial_mass_function with GEAR’s stellar model. The initial mass function used in GEAR follows [Kroupa2001].

Lifetime

This example is generated in examples/lifetime with GEAR’s stellar model. The lifetime in GEAR is a quadratic in metallicity and mass (see equation 3.32 in [Poirier2004])

Supernovae Rate

This example is generated in examples/supernovae_rate with GEAR’s stellar model. The supernovae rate is given by the contribution of SNIa (in blue) and SNII (in orange). The two peaks in SNIa correspond to the two different type of companion (red giant and main sequence).
