Constraining the IMF in Extreme Environments: Detecting Young Low Mass Stars in Unresolved Starbursts
Michael R. Meyer, Julia Greissl
We demonstrate the feasibility of detecting directly low mass stars in unresolved super-star clusters with ages < 10 Myr using near-infrared spectroscopy at modest resolution (R ~…

The IMF in Extreme Star-Forming Environments: Searching for Variations vs. Initial Conditions
Morten Andersen, M. R. Meyer, J. Greissl +4
Any predictive theory of star formation must explain observed variations (or lack thereof) in the initial mass function. Recent work suggests that we might expect quantitative vari…
