model.HydrostaticEquilibrium.is_physical

property HydrostaticEquilibrium.is_physical

Determines if the model.ClusterModel instance is physically realizable.

Returns:

True if the system is physically realizable, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

Notes

See the documentation on correcting non-physical regions. This method uses the fact that all non-physicalities in the system is manifested in the dynamical density. The algorithm therefore checks the dynamical density for signs of non-physicality and returns the results.
