Detailed Description

Interface class for initial mass function.

Modified by Elaad Applebaum to implement a stochastic IMF. Added DrawStar methods NB: So far, only added for Kroupa01

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual IMF * IMF::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

copy IMF object

Implemented in Chabrier, Kroupa01, Kroupa93, and MillerScalo.

◆ CumMass()

virtual double IMF::CumMass ( double mass )

pure virtual

Cumulative mass of stars with mass greater than mass.

Parameters

mass	in solar masses

Implemented in Chabrier, Kroupa01, Kroupa93, and MillerScalo.

◆ CumMassStoch()

virtual double IMF::CumMassStoch	(	double	mass,
		double	lownorm,
		double *	hmstars,
		double	cutmass )

pure virtual

CumMass for use with stochastic IMF. NOTA BENE - CumMass for stochastic use returns the actual mass for the star particle - no renormalization necessary.

Implemented in Chabrier, Kroupa01, Kroupa93, and MillerScalo.

◆ CumNumber()

virtual double IMF::CumNumber ( double mass )

pure virtual

Cumulative number of stars with mass greater than mass.

Parameters

mass	in solar masses

Implemented in Chabrier, Kroupa01, Kroupa93, and MillerScalo.

◆ CumNumberStoch()

virtual double IMF::CumNumberStoch	(	double	mass,
		double	lownorm,
		double *	hmstars,
		double	cutmass )

pure virtual

CumNumber for use with stochastic IMF. NOTA BENE - CumNumber for stochastic use returns the actual number for the star particle - no renormalization necessary.

Implemented in Chabrier, Kroupa01, Kroupa93, and MillerScalo.
