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

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.

Does turbulence determine the initial mass function? [PDF]
, 2016 We test the hypothesis that the initial mass function (IMF) is determined by the density probability distribution function (PDF) produced by supersonic turbulence.

ZFIRE : using Hα equivalent widths to investigate the in situ initial mass function at z ∼ 2 [PDF]
, 2017 We use the ZFIRE (http://zfire.swinburne.edu.au) survey to investigate the high-mass slope of the initial mass function (IMF) for a mass-complete (log(10)(M-*/M-circle dot) similar to 9.3) sample of 102 star-forming galaxies at z similar to 2 using their

Effects of steady state free precession parameters on cardiac mass, function, and volumes. [PDF]
, 2007 PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate comparability of LV volumes, function, and mass acquired with three steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences, simulating typical vendor and protocol specific differences in data acquisition. METHODS: Twenty-one

, 2014 [[abstract]]Magnetic fields play a prominent role in the formation of stars in giant molecular clouds (GMCs). They explain the low efficiency of star formation in the Galaxy. They yield the mechanism underlying jets from young stellar objects and bipolar

Gas removal and the initial mass function of star clusters
, 2009 We explore how the expulsion of gas from star-forming cores due to supernova explosions affects the shape of the initial cluster mass function, that is, the mass function of star clusters when cluster infant weight-loss triggered by gas expulsion is over.

The Dawes Review 8: Measuring the Stellar Initial Mass Function
, 2018 The birth of stars and the formation of galaxies are cornerstones of modern astrophysics.While much is known about how galaxies globally and their stars individually form and evolve, one fundamental property that affects both remains elusive.
