Crucial aspects of the initial mass function (II): The inference of total quantities from partial information on a cluster
Miguel Cervino, Carlos Romann-Zuniga, Amelia Bayo +3
In a probabilistic framework of the interpretation of the initial mass function (IMF), the IMF cannot be arbitrarily normalized to the total mass, M, or number of stars, N, of the…
Crucial aspects of the initial mass function (I): The statistical correlation between the total mass of an ensemble of stars and its most massive star
Miguel Cervino, Carlos Romann-Zuniga, Valentina Luridiana +3
Our understanding of stellar systems depends on the adopted interpretation of the IMF, phi(m). Unfortunately, there is not a common interpretation of the IMF, which leads to differ…
Colour-magnitude diagrams, probabilistic synthesis models and the upper mass limit of the initial mass function
Miguel Cervino, Enrique Perez, Nestor Sanchez +2
We present the underlying relations between colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and synthesis models through the use of stellar luminosity distribution func- tions. CMDs studies make…
The fractal dimension of star-forming regions at different spatial scales in M33
Nestor Sanchez, Neyda Anez, Emilio J. Alfaro +1
We study the distribution of stars, HII regions, molecular gas, and individual giant molecular clouds in M33 over a wide range of spatial scales. The clustering strength of these c…
