The fragmentation properties of massive star-forming regions in 30Dor-10 at 2000 au resolution [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe fragmentation properties of parsec- scale clumps play a fundamental role in shaping the dense gas condensations known as cores, the immediate progenitor of stars.

UniverseWe aim to constrain the stellar initial mass function (IMF) during the epoch of reionization. To this purpose, we build up a semi-empirical model for the reionization history of the Universe based on various ingredients: the latest determination of the ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We use recent microlensing observations toward the central bulge of the Galaxy to probe the overall stellar plus brown dwarf initial mass function (IMF) in these regions well within the brown dwarf domain. We find that the IMF is consistent with the same

The Initial Mass Function and Other Stellar Properties Across the Core of the Hydra I Cluster
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Hydra I cluster offers an excellent opportunity to study and compare the relic old stellar populations in the core of its two brightest galaxies. In addition, the differing kinematics of the two galaxies allows a test of the local validity of general

Variation of the High-mass Slope of the Stellar Initial Mass Function: Theory Meets Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present observational evidence of a correlation between the high-mass slope of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in young star clusters and their stellar surface density, σ _* .

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Low-mass stars and substellar objects are essential in tracing the initial mass function (IMF). We study the nearby young σ Orionis cluster ( d ∼ 408 pc, age ∼ 1.8 Myr) using deep near-infrared (NIR) photometric data in the J , W , and H bands from ...

Substellar initial mass function of Trumpler 14
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Young, massive stellar clusters offer a prime setting to explore brown dwarf (BD) formation under high densities and intense UV radiation. Trumpler 14 (Tr 14), a ∼1 Myr old cluster located at a distance of 2.4 kpc that is particularly rich in O ...

Fragmentation of young massive clusters in binary components: an application of Griddy Gibbs Sampler
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe study of the process of hierarchical fragmentation of molecular clouds within Young Massive Clusters required modeling the Initial Mass Function by considering both binary and single-star components.

Constraining the Initial Mass Function via Stellar Transients
UniverseThe stellar initial mass function (IMF) represents a fundamental quantity in astrophysics and cosmology describing the mass distribution of stars from low mass all the way up to massive and very massive stars. It is intimately linked to a wide variety of
