The most massive stars in very young star clusters with a limited mass: Evidence favours significant self-regulation in the star formation processes
Zhiqiang Yan, Tereza Jerabkova, Pavel Kroupa
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly interpreted to be a scale-invariant probability density distribution function (PDF) such that many small clusters yield the same…
Asymmetrical tidal tails of open star clusters: stars crossing their cluster's prah challenge Newtonian gravitation
Pavel Kroupa, Tereza Jerabkova, Ingo Thies +14
After their birth a significant fraction of all stars pass through the tidal threshold (prah) of their cluster of origin into the classical tidal tails. The asymmetry between the n…
The giants that were born swiftly -- Implications of the top-heavy stellar initial mass function on the birth conditions of globular clusters
Henriette Wirth, Pavel Kroupa, Jaroslav Haas +3
Recent results suggest that the initial mass function (IMF) of globular clusters (GCs) is metallicity and density dependent. Here it is studied how this variation affects the initi…
A tale of caution: the tails of NGC 752 are much longer than claimed
Henri M. J. Boffin, Tereza Jerabkova, Giacomo Beccari +1
Understanding the exact extent and content of tidal tails of open clusters provide useful clues on how field stars populate the Milky Way. We reanalyse, using Gaia EDR3 data, the t…
