class pynucastro.neutrino_cooling.neutrino_cooling.NeutrinoCooling(neutrino_function=<function sneut5>)

Bases: object

A class to provide an interface to explore neutrino cooling. This calls a specific implementation of the cooling that includes contributions from pairs, plasma, recombination, bremsstrahlung, and photoneutrinos.
