- class arsenal_gear.dist_funcs.imf.Salpeter(min_mass: Annotated[Quantity, PhysicalType('mass')], max_mass: Annotated[Quantity, PhysicalType('mass')], alpha: float = 2.35)[source]¶
Bases:
IMF
A simple, classic Salpeter 1955 (slope 2.35) IMF.
- Parameters:
min_mass (astropy mass unit) – Least massive star in the IMF
max_mass (astropy mass unit) – Most massive star in the IMF
alpha (float) – The IMF slope (note that the slope applied is -alpha, so this should be positive)
