Binary classification (classify)#

classify contains functions for classifying the stars and binaries that are produced in a cogsworth Population. The main functionality is in determine_final_classes(), but you can also find the full list of classes in list_classes().

Functions#

determine_final_classes([population, bpp, ...])

Determine the classes of each member of a population at the last point in the evolution (usually present day).

list_classes()

List out the available classes that are used in other functions

get_eddington_rate(mass[, ...])

Get the eddington accretion rate

get_eddington_lum(mass)

Get the eddington luminosity for a given mass

get_schwarzchild_radius(mass)

Get the Schwarzchild radius for a given black hole mass

get_x_ray_lum(m_acc, r_acc, m_acc_dot, porb, ...)

Estimate the X-ray luminosity for a given binary
