Units of the gas phase and stellar metallicity #280

Closed steveschulze closed 1 year ago

Hi,

In which units are the gas phase and stellar metallicity reported? Does a value of 1 (in linear units) correspond to solar metallicity?

Cheers,

Steve

These are described here: https://dfm.io/python-fsps/current/stellarpop_api/#api-reference but they are in log(Z/Z_sun)
