populate_tracks

cosmic.evolve.populate_tracks(track_list, is_he=False)

Populate Fortran track data structures from a list of Python track dictionaries and pass them to the COSMIC Fortran backend.

Parameters:

track_listlist of dict

Each dictionary must contain the following keys:

• ‘filename’ : str

• ‘initial_mass’ : float

• ‘initial_Y’ : float

• ‘initial_Z’ : float

• ‘Fe_div_H’ : float

• ‘alpha_div_Fe’ : float

• ‘v_div_vcrit’ : float

• ‘ntrack’ : int

• ‘neep’ : int

• ‘ncol’ : int

• ‘eep’ : array-like of shape (neep,)

• ‘tr’ : array-like of shape (ncol, ntrack)

• ‘cols’ : list of str of length ncol

is_hebool, default=False

Indicates whether the tracks are helium-enriched.

Returns:

tuple of float

The minimum and maximum initial masses from the track list.

The function calls the Fortran subroutine _evolvebin.c_m_interface.set_tracks_from_python and populates the Fortran-side track arrays. The Python-side arrays are used only as temporary buffers for the call.
