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,…
