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.

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.

On the variation of the initial mass function [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001 (shortened) In this contribution an average or Galactic-field IMF is defined, stressing that there is evidence for a change in the power-law index at only two masses: near 0.5 Msun and 0.08 Msun. Using this supposed universal IMF, the uncertainty inherent to any observational estimate of the IMF is investigated, by studying the scatter introduced by ...

Variations in integrated galactic initial mass functions due to sampling method and cluster mass function [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 [abridged] Stars are thought to be formed predominantly in clusters. The clusters are formed following a cluster initial mass function (CMF) similar to the stellar initial mass function (IMF). Both the IMF and the CMF favour low-mass objects. The numerous low-mass clusters will lack high mass stars.
