Recent Releases of vice

vice - v1.3.1

Changelog entries for this release:

1.3.1

  • vice.multizone Enforces each zone to run in the same mode (related to the handling of inflow metallicites; see below).

  • vice.singlezone and vice.multizone

    • Handles non-zero inflow metallicities in a more stable way. Unit tests search for numerical artifacts in "sudden event" evolutionary histories exhibiting bursts in star formation.
    • Includes primordial metallicity component in the reported total abundance in accreting gas at each timestep.

  • vice.dataframe Fixed issues with inheritance structure affecting recent versions of python (3.11 and 3.12)

  • vice.yields.ccsne.fractional

    • Subtracts the remnant mass from the initial mass in computing net yields from the tables containing gross yields. A small correction for metals, the difference is significant for helium.

  • Fixed callback objects to be compatible with Cython>=3.0.

  • vice.yields.agb.ventura13 New set of theoretically predicted asymptotic giant branch star yields compiled from the following set of papers:

    • Ventura et al. (2013), MNRAS, 431, 3642 (Z = 0.0003, 0.008)
    • Ventura et al. (2014), MNRAS, 437, 3274 (Z = 0.004)

  • vice.yields.agb.karakas16 New set of theoretically predicted asymptotic giant branch star yields compiled from Karakas & Lugaro (2016), ApJ, 825, 26 and Karakas et al. (2018), MNRAS, 477, 421. The Karakas & Lugaro (2016) tables provide yields for progenitor metallicities of Z = 0.007, 0.014, and 0.03, while the Karakas et al.

If it cannot download the notebook, it will launch a previously downloaded version if it has one. In the event that no local copy exists and it cannot be downloaded, it will raise a RuntimeError.

Patches

  • Addressed single timestep level bug in elemental accretion rate from primordial gas affecting models ran in star formation and gas modes.
