An Agent-Based Model of the Stellar Mass Distribution [PDF]
EntropyThe Initial Mass Function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses formed in a stellar cluster and constitutes a fundamental constraint for theories of star formation.

Theories of the initial mass function [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractWe review the various theories which have been proposed along the years to explain the origin of the stellar initial mass function. We pay particular attention to four models, namely the competitive accretion and the theories based respectively on stopped accretion, MHD shocks and turbulent dispersion.

Inferring Globular Cluster Initial Mass Function from Stellar Streams
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe Gaia mission has provided precise astrometry and spectrophotometry for billions of stars in the Milky Way, enabling the identification and kinematic characterization of stellar streams. These streams, remnants of disrupted globular clusters and dwarf

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 ...

The Initial Mass Function of Low-mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the W3 Complex. [PDF]
Astron J, 2021 We have used archival infrared images obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope to constrain the initial mass function of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the W3 star-forming region.

The Astrophysical JournalThe most metal-poor stars record the earliest metal enrichment triggered by Population III stars. By comparing observed abundance patterns with theoretical yields of metal-free stars, physical properties of their first star progenitors can be inferred ...
