Hubble-Lemaître fragmentation and the path to equilibrium of merger-driven cluster formation
Julien Dorval, Christian M. Boily, Estelle Moraux +2
This paper discusses a new method to generate self-coherent initial conditions for young substructured stellar cluster. The expansion of a uniform system allows stellar sub-structu…
The relation between accretion rates and the initial mass function in hydrodynamical simulations of star formation
Th. Maschberger, I. A. Bonnell, C. J. Clarke +1
We analyse a hydrodynamical simulation of star formation. Sink particles in the simulations which represent stars show episodic growth, which is presumably accretion from a core th…
On the function describing the stellar initial mass function
Thomas Maschberger
We propose a functional form for the IMF, the L_3 IMF, which is a natural heavy-tailed approximation to the log-normal distribution. It is composed of a low-mass power law and a hi…
Spectroscopy of brown dwarf candidates in IC 348 and the determination of its substellar IMF down to planetary masses
C. Alves de Oliveira, E. Moraux, J. Bouvier +4
Context. Brown dwarfs represent a sizable fraction of the stellar content of our Galaxy and populate the transition between the stellar and planetary mass regime. There is however…
A search for mass segregation of stars and brown dwarfs in ρ Ophiuchi
Richard J. Parker, Thomas Maschberger, Catarina Alves de Oliveira
We apply two different algorithms to search for mass segregation to a recent observational census of the rho Ophiuchi star forming region. Firstly, we apply the Lambda_MSR method,…
The dynamical state of stellar structure in star-forming regions
J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Thomas Maschberger, Nickolas Moeckel +3
The fraction of star formation that results in bound star clusters is influenced by the density spectrum in which stars are formed and by the response of the stellar structure to g…
