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).
