Long standing initial mass function problem solved
... new links even faster. "We demonstrated that a power law that the stellar initial mass function follows is formed independently of the initial mass distribution of proto-stars if the density distribution in the interstellar cloud is fractal. This...

Using gravitational waves to search for Population III stars
... gave rise to the GW150914 event has a mass of about 62 times the Sun's mass. In astronomy, the initial mass function (IMF) is an empirical function that describes the distribution of initial masses for a population of stars. Understanding the origin...
