The stellar and sub-stellar IMF of simple and composite populations
Pavel Kroupa, Carsten Weidner, Jan Pflamm-Altenburg +4
The current knowledge on the stellar IMF is documented. It appears to become top-heavy when the star-formation rate density surpasses about 0.1Msun/(yr pc^3) on a pc scale and it m…
The dynamical fingerprint of gas-expulsion: Insights into the assembly of the Milky Ways' old GC system
Michael Marks, Pavel Kroupa
Since the oldest globular clusters (GCs) are early residuals from the formation of the Milky Way (MW), GCs were exposed to the likely evolving potential of our Galaxy. The expulsio…
Dynamical population synthesis: Constructing the stellar single and binary contents of galactic field populations
Michael Marks, Pavel Kroupa
[abridged] The galactic field's late-type stellar single and binary population is calculated on the supposition that all stars form as binaries in embedded star clusters. A recentl…
An analytical description of the evolution of binary orbital-parameter distributions in N-body computations of star clusters
Michael Marks, Pavel Kroupa, Seungkyung Oh
A new method is presented to describe the evolution of the orbital-parameter distributions for an initially universal binary population in star clusters by means of the currently l…
