The Local Stellar Initial Mass Function
Pavel Kroupa
This contribution describes the difficult task of inferring the IMF from local star-count data, by discussing the mass-luminosity relation, unresolved binary, triple and quadruple…
The Birth, Evolution and Death of Star Clusters
Pavel Kroupa
A dense-enough gas-accumulation evolves, over a few Myr of intensifying star formation, to an embedded cluster. If it contains a sufficient amount of mass, O stars form and explosi…
Binary Stars in Young Clusters - a Theoretical Perspective
Pavel Kroupa
The preponderance of binary systems in all known stellar populations makes them exciting dynamical agents for research on topics as varied as star formation, star-cluster dynamics…
Could merged star-clusters build up a small galaxy?
Michael Fellhauer, Pavel Kroupa
We investigate the behaviour of a cluster of young massive star clusters (hereafter super-cluster) in the tidal field of a host galaxy with a high-resolution particle-mesh code, Su…
Stellar-Dynamics of Young Star Clusters
Pavel Kroupa
The stellar-dynamical evolution of bound star clusters during the first few Myr is dominated by binary-binary and binary-star interactions, the rapid sinking of the most massive st…
