stellaR (version 0.3-4)

testComposition: Check the existence of a record in the database

Description

Check that the given chemical composition (Z, Y, [alpha/Fe]) and the mixing-length value exist in the stellar database.

Usage

testComposition(Z, Y, ML, AFE)

Value

The function returns TRUE if the combination of the inputs exists in the database.

Arguments

Z

the initial metallicity of the model.

Y

the initial helium abundance of the model.

ML

the mixing-length of the model.

AFE

the alpha-enhanchment of the model. Allowed values are AFE = 0 ([alpha/Fe] = 0.0) or AFE = 1 ([alpha/Fe] = 0.3).
