kilopop.mappings.compute_equation_9(dynamical_ejecta_mass, secular_ejecta_mass)

Compute equation 9 from Setzer et al. 2022.

Compute the total ejecta mass by simple addition of the ejecta mass from the dynamical and secular processes involved in the merger.

Parameters:

• dynamical_ejecta_mass (float or Array) – The ejected mass from dynamical processes. [solar masses]

• secular_ejecta_mass (float or Array) – The ejecta mass from secular processes. [solar masses]

Returns:

total_ejecta_mass – The total amount of mass ejected that contributes to the kilonova emission. [solar masses]

Return type:

float or Array
