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.

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 ...

On the mass-to-light ratio and the initial mass function in disc galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004 A low mass-to-light ratio for the stellar component of spiral galaxies (M/L<1 in the I-band) is advocated by various dynamical arguments and by recent cosmological simulations of the formation of these systems. We discuss this possibility by means of chemo-photometric models for galactic discs, adopting different Initial Mass Functions. We show that

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

A Discontinuity in the Low‐Mass Initial Mass Function [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 The origin of brown dwarfs (BDs) is still an unsolved mystery. While the standard model describes the formation of BDs and stars in a similar way recent data on the multiplicity properties of stars and BDs show them to have different binary distribution functions.
