Evolution of the stellar mass function in open clusters from a universal and unsegregated initial state

Lu Li, Zhaozhou Li, Zhengyi Shao +2

The stellar mass function (MF) and its spatial variation (mass segregation) within star clusters encode signatures of early formation physics and subsequent secular evolution. Yet,…
