The Stellar and Sub-Stellar Initial Mass Function: Variations
Results: mass segregation
- ONC
- surface density implies r~1/r2
- cluster is near virial equilibrium
- but only a few crossing times old
- mass segregation must be primordial, I.e. part of the clustered star formation process
- is IMF turnover in the inner ONC due only to mass segregation?
- NGC 3603
- Pleiades (not necessarily primordial)
