get_predicted_num_stars

megabeast.helpers.get_predicted_num_stars(massmult_info, bphysparams, bphysmod, physmodage)[source]

Calculate the expected number of stars based on the physics model as given on the BEAST model grid including completeness.

Parameters:
massmult_infodict

“massmult” gives the value to muliply the SFH at each age and metallicity “ages” gives the ages and “Zs” gives the metallicities

bphysparamsastropy.table

table giving the physical parameters, weights, and completeness on the BEAST physical grid

bphysmodarray

probability of the physics model on the BEAST physics grid

physmodagebeast.physicmodel.priormodel

physics model of for age

Returns:
n_starsfloat

number of stars expected
