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…
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…
First detection of CO isotopologues in a high-redshift main-sequence galaxy: evidence of a top-heavy stellar initial mass function
Ziyi Guo, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Zhiqiang Yan +5
Recent observations and theories have presented a strong challenge to the universality of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in extreme environments. A notable example has bee…
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…
