متن کاملThe Stellar Mass Function
Since the major review by Scalo (1986), significant progress has been achieved in constraining the mass function (MF) of low-mass stars. The break-throughs which today allow a much better understanding of the stellar luminosity function (LF) and the underlying MF are documented here and the resulting MF for Galactic field stars is confronted with microlensing data, the chemical enrichment histo...
متن کاملThe distribution of stellar mass in the low-redshift Universe
We use a complete and uniform sample of almost half a million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to characterise the distribution of stellar mass in the lowredshift Universe. Galaxy abundances are well determined over almost four orders of magnitude in stellar mass, and are reasonably but not perfectly fit by a Schechter function with characteristic stellar mass m∗ = 6.7× 10 10M⊙ and wi...
متن کاملThe contribution of very massive high-redshift SWIRE galaxies to the stellar mass function
Context. In the last couple of years a population of very massive (M > 1011 M ), high-redshift (z ≥ 2) galaxies has been identified, but its role in galaxy evolution has not yet been fully understood. Aims. It is necessary to perform a systematic study of high-redshift massive galaxies, in order to determine the shape of the very massive tail of the stellar mass function and determine the epoch...
متن کاملThe Stellar Initial Mass Function
The current status of both the observational evidence and the theory of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is reviewed, with particular attention to the two basic, apparently universal features shown by all observations of nearby stellar systems: (1) a characteristic stellar mass of the order of one solar mass, and (2) a power-law decline of the IMF at large masses similar to the original ...
