Initial mass function of planetesimals formed by the streaming instability [PDF]
, 2016 The streaming instability is a mechanism to concentrate solid particles into overdense filaments that undergo gravitational collapse and form planetesimals.

The Stellar Initial Mass Function at the Epoch of Reionization [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 I provide estimates of the ultraviolet and visible light luminosity density at z~6 after accounting for the contribution from faint galaxies below the detection limit of deep Hubble and Spitzer surveys. I find the rest-frame V-band luminosity density is a factor of ~2-3 below the ultraviolet luminosity density at z~6.

The bimodal initial mass function in the Orion Nebula Cloud [PDF]
, 2016 Due to its youth, proximity and richness the Orion Nebula Cloud (ONC) is an ideal testbed to obtain a comprehensive view on the Initial Mass Function (IMF) down to the planetary mass regime.

The Local Stellar Initial Mass Function
, 2000 This contribution describes the difficult task of inferring the IMF from local star-count data, by discussing the mass-luminosity relation, unresolved binary, triple and quadruple systems, abundance and age spreads and Galactic structure, all of which must be accounted for properly for the results to be meaningful.

Converging on the Initial Mass Function of Stars
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017 Understanding the origin of stellar masses—the initial mass function (IMF)— remains one of the most challenging problems in astrophysics. The IMF is a key ingredient for simulations of galaxy formation and evolution, and is used to calibrate star ...

The Origin of The Stellar Initial Mass Function
, 2000 Observations and theories of the stellar initial mass function are reviewed. The universality and large total mass range of the power law portion of the IMF suggest a connection between stellar mass and cloud structure. The fractal patterns and formation times of young clusters suggest a further connection to turbulence.

On the Initial Mass Function of Population III Stars [PDF]
, 2001 The collapse and fragmentation of filamentary primordial gas clouds are explored using 1D and 2D hydrodynamical simulations coupled with the nonequilibrium processes of H2 formation.

Evidence for a bottom-light initial mass function in massive star clusters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We have determined stellar mass functions of 120 Milky Way globular clusters and massive LMC/SMC star clusters based on a comparison of archival Hubble Space Telescope photometry with a large grid of direct N-body simulations.

The Initial Mass Function of Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in Taurus [PDF]
, 2000 By combining deep optical imaging and infrared spectroscopy with data from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and from previous studies (e.g., Briceno et al.), I have measured the Initial Mass Function (IMF) for a reddening-limited sample in four ...
