IMF variations and their implications for Supernovae numbers
C. Weidner, P. Kroupa
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) integrated over an entire galaxy is an integral over all separate star-formation events. Since most stars form in star clusters with differe…
Variation of the IMF
Pavel Kroupa, Carsten Weidner
(abridged) The {stellar IMF} has been found to be essentially invariant. While some apparent differences are seen, the uncertainties inherent to this game do not allow a firm concl…
Monte-Carlo experiments on star-cluster induced integrated-galaxy IMF variations
Carsten Weidner, Pavel Kroupa
As most if not all stars are born in stellar clusters the shape of the mass function of the field stars is not only determined by the initial mass function of stars (IMF) but also…
Implications for the formation of star clusters from extra-galactic star-formation rates
C. Weidner, P. Kroupa, S. S. Larsen
Observations indicate that young massive star clusters in spiral and dwarf galaxies follow a relation between luminosity of the brightest young cluster and the star-formation rate…
