Can convert the old $\alpha_1
$ and $\beta_1
$ to new ones $\alpha_2
$ and $\beta_2
$ as $\alpha_2=-\alpha_1
$ and $\beta_2=\beta_1+\alpha_1*T_{max}
$.
With this change we are now mixing how we treat time bounds; some methods take max_logAge
while others take T_max
. We should make this uniformly T_max
while making this change.
$
\langle [\text{M} / \text{H}] \rangle(t) = \alpha \left( T_{max} - t \right) + \beta
$ rather than $\langle [\text{M} / \text{H}] \rangle(t) = \alpha t + \beta
$ as it currently is.This will make presentation clearer in the paper as the logarithmic AMR is $
\langle Z \rangle(t) = \alpha \left( T_{max} - t \right) + \beta
$ so the two have a common form. This also allows us to enforce $\alpha>0
$ which makes more sense as a slope than $\alpha<0
$ as it was in the old model. It will necessitate some changes to scripts with science results to deal with the new formats but I think the change is worth it.
