The Stellar Initial Mass Function and Beyond
Richard B. Larson
A brief review is given of the basic observed features of the stellar IMF, and also of some of the theoretical ideas and simulations that may help to explain these features. The ch…
Towards Population III: The Collapse and Fragmentation of Primordial Gas
P. S. Coppi, V. Bromm, R. B. Larson
We briefly review the motivations for studying the formation of the first ``Population III'' stars and present recent results from our numerical simulations in this area. We discus…
Summary: Modes of Star Formation
Richard B. Larson
This contribution summarizes briefly the main topics covered at this wide-ranging conference. Much of the evidence presented indicates that star formation occurs in discrete episod…
Implications of Binary Properties for Theories of Star Formation
Richard B. Larson
The overall frequency and other statistical properties of binary systems suggest that star formation is intrinsically a complex and chaotic process, and that most binaries and sing…
The Formation of the First Stars
Richard B. Larson
The first bound star-forming systems in the universe are predicted to form at redshifts of about 30 and to have masses of the order of 10^6 M_sun. Although their sizes and masses a…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function
Richard B. Larson
The current status of both the observational evidence and the theory of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is reviewed, with particular attention to the two basic, apparently…
