kilopop.mappings.compute_equation_7(tov_mass, EOS_mass_to_rad)[source]

Compute equation 7 from Setzer et al. 2022.

Function to calculate the prompt collapse threshold mass, given the maximum TOV mass and the radius at 1.6 solar mass for the chosen EOS. Based on Bauswein et al. 2013.

Parameters:

tov_mass (float) – The maximum mass from solving the TOV equations for given EOS.
EOS_mass_to_rad (function) – Interpolator function from provided EOS mass-radius curve.

Returns:

prompt_collapse_mass_threshold – Threshold mass in solar masses for prompt blackhole collapse.

Return type:

float
