Uncovering a 260 pc wide, 35 Myr old filamentary relic of star formation

Giacomo Beccari, Henri M. J. Boffin, Tereza Jerabkova

Several recent studies have shown that the Vela OB2 region hosts a complex constellation of sub-populations with ages in the range 10 to 50 Myr. Such populations might represent th…

The possible role of stellar mergers for the formation of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters

Long Wang, Pavel Kroupa, Koh Takahashi +1

Many possible scenarios for the formation of multiple stellar populations (MSP) in globular clusters (GCs) have been discussed so far, including the involvement of asymptotic giant…

The Salpeter IMF and its descendants

Pavel Kroupa, Tereza Jerabkova

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is the key to understanding the matter cycle in the Universe. Edwin Salpeter's paper of 1955 founded this research field. Evidence today, ho…

Multiple bursts of star formation in young star clusters: The case of the Orion Nebula Cluster

Tereza Jerabkova

Young star clusters (YSCs) with resolved stellar populations are well suited for studying star-cluster formation. In most cases, the (pre-main-sequence) stellar populations found i…

A stellar relic filament in the Orion star forming region

Tereza Jerabkova, Henri M. J. Boffin, Giacomo Beccari +1

We report the discovery of the oldest stellar substructure in the Orion star forming region (OSFR), the Orion relic filament. The relic filament is physically associated with the O…

Chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies with a variable IMF -- A publicly available code

Zhiqiang Yan, Tereza Jerabkova, Pavel Kroupa +1

Growing evidence in recent years suggests a systematic variation of the stellar initial mass function (IMF), being top-heavy for starburst galaxies and possibly bottom-heavy for ma…
