Fragmentation and the initial mass function [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 A central problem in the theory of star formation is to understand the spectrum of masses, or Initial Mass Function, with which stars are formed. The fundamental role of the IMF in galactic evolution has been described by Tinsley (1980), and an extensive review of evidence concerning the IMF and its possible variability has been presented by Scalo ...

The Initial Mass Function as given by the fragmentation [PDF]
, 2005 The dichotomy between a universal mass function (IMF) and a variable IMF which depends on local physical parameters characterises observational and theoretical stellar astronomy. In this contribution the available distributions of probability are briefly

The low-mass Initial Mass Function in the young cluster NGC 6611 [PDF]
, 2008 NGC 6611 is the massive young cluster (2-3 Myr) that ionises the Eagle Nebula. We present very deep photometric observations of the central region of NGC 6611 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope and the following filters: ACS/WFC F775W and F850LP ...

Fragmentation of young massive clusters in binary components: an application of Griddy Gibbs Sampler
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe study of the process of hierarchical fragmentation of molecular clouds within Young Massive Clusters required modeling the Initial Mass Function by considering both binary and single-star components.

A Census of the 32 Ori Association with Gaia
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 I have used high-precision photometry and astrometry from the third data release of Gaia (DR3) to identify candidate members of the 32 Ori association.

EVIDENCE FOR TWO DISTINCT STELLAR INITIAL MASS FUNCTIONS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We present velocity dispersion measurements of 20 Local Group stellar clusters (7 < log(age [yrs]) < 10.2) from integrated light spectra and examine the evolution of the stellar mass-to-light ratio, Upsilon_*. We find that the clusters deviate from the evolutionary tracks corresponding to simple stellar populations drawn from standard stellar ...

Stellar initial mass function varies with metallicity and time
Nature, 2023 Most structural and evolutionary properties of galaxies strongly rely on the stellar initial mass function (IMF), namely the distribution of the stellar mass formed in each episode of star formation. As the IMF shapes the stellar population in all stellar systems, it turns out to become one of the most fundamental concepts of modern astronomy.
