holodeck.sams (Semi-Analytic Models) module
holodeck - Semi-Analytic Models (SAMs)
The holodeck SAMs construct MBH binary populations using simple semi-analytic and/or semi-empirical relationships. For more information, see the SAMs getting-started guide.
The core element of holodeck SAMs is the Semi_Analytic_Model
class.
Instances of this class piece together the different components of the model (defined in
holodeck.sams.components
) to construct a population. The population is evolved with a binary
evolution model, implemented as a subclass of the _Hardening
, typically
in the holodeck.hardening
module.
