Failed supernova explosions increase the duration of star formation in globular clusters
Henriette Wirth, Jaroslav Haas, Ladislav Šubr +3
Context. The duration of star formation (SF) in globular clusters (GCs) is an essential aspect for understanding their formation. Contrary to previous presumptions that all stars a…
The initial mass function of stars
Pavel Kroupa, Eda Gjergo, Tereza Jerabkova +1
The initial mass function (IMF) is one of the most important functions in astrophysics because it is key to reconstructing the cosmological matter cycle, understanding the formatio…
Open star clusters and their asymmetrical tidal tails
Pavel Kroupa, Jan Pflamm-Altenburg, Sergij Mazurenko +4
Stars that evaporate from their star cluster by the energy equipartition process end up either in a leading or a trailing tidal tail. In Newtonian gravitation and for open star clu…
The Variation of the Galaxy-Wide IMF for Low-Mass Stars: Modeling and Observational Insights
Zhiqiang Yan, Jiadong Li, Pavel Kroupa +3
The Stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) characterizes the mass distribution of newly formed stars in various cosmic environments, serving as a fundamental assumption in astrophysic…
The effect of the environment-dependent stellar initial mass function on the photometric properties of star-forming galaxies
Moritz Haslbauer, Zhiqiang Yan, Tereza Jerabkova +3
(Abridged) Observational estimates of galaxy properties rely on the inherent galaxy-wide initial mass function (gwIMF), which systematically varies with the global SFR and metallic…
