The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-type Galaxies from Absorption Line Spectroscopy. III. Radial Gradients [PDF]
, 2016 There is good evidence that the centers of massive early-type galaxies have a bottom-heavy stellar initial mass function (IMF) compared to that of the Milky Way.

Isothermal Fragmentation: Is there a low-mass cut-off? [PDF]
, 2018 The evolution of self-gravitating clouds of isothermal gas forms the basis of many star formation theories. Therefore it is important to know under what conditions such a cloud will undergo homologous collapse into a single, massive object, or will ...

On the function describing the stellar initial mass function [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2012 We propose a functional form for the IMF, the L_3 IMF, which is a natural heavy-tailed approximation to the log-normal distribution. It is composed of a low-mass power law and a high mass power-law which are smoothly joined together. Three parameters are needed to achieve this.

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.

Constraining the low-mass end of the Initial Mass Function with Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
, 2010 The low-mass end of the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) is constrained by focusing on the baryon-dominated central regions of strong lensing galaxies. We study in this letter the Einstein Cross (Q2237+0305), a z=0.04 barred galaxy whose bulge acts as

Constraining the Initial Mass Function via Stellar Transients
UniverseThe stellar initial mass function (IMF) represents a fundamental quantity in astrophysics and cosmology describing the mass distribution of stars from low mass all the way up to massive and very massive stars. It is intimately linked to a wide variety of

The cosmic microwave background and the stellar initial mass function [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We argue that an increased temperature in star-forming clouds alters the stellar initial mass function to be more bottom-light than in the Milky Way. At redshifts $z \gtrsim 6$, heating from the cosmic microwave background radiation produces this effect ...
