The 0.03–10m⊙ Mass Function of Young Open Clusters
We report the present day mass functions (PDMFs) of 3 young open clusters over a mass range from 30 Jupiter masses to 10 M⊙. The PDMFs of the 3 clusters are remarkably similar, suggesting little impact of specific conditions (stellar density, metallicity, early dynamical evolution) on the mass distribution. Functional forms are provided to allow quantitative comparison with MFs derived in other...
متن کاملMass Segregation in Very Young Open Clusters
The study of the very young open cluster NGC 6231 clearly shows the presence of a mass segregation for the most massive stars. These observations, combined with those concerning other young objects and very recent numerical simulations, strongly support the hypothesis of an initial origin for the mass segregation of the most massive stars. These results led to the conclusion that massive stars ...
متن کاملThe Mass Function of Young Star Clusters in The Antennae
The Antennae is a pair of late type spirals in the course of merging. The interaction triggered an ongoing strong burst of star formation that also produced a large number of Young Star Clusters (YSCs), many of which seem to be young Globular Clusters (GCs). The observed Luminosity Function of the YSC system is a power-law. We use evolutionary synthesis models for star clusters in comparison wi...
متن کاملThe mass function of young star clusters in spiral galaxies
Aims. The initial cluster mass function (ICMF) in spiral discs is constrained and compared with data for old globular clusters and young clusters in starbursts. Methods. For a given absolute magnitude, the cluster age distribution depends on the ICMF. Here, the behaviour of the median agemagnitude relation is analysed in detail for Schechter ICMFs with various cut-off masses, Mc. The calculated...
متن کاملThe luminosity function of young star clusters: implications for the maximum mass and luminosity of clusters
We introduce a method to relate a possible truncation of the star cluster mass function at the high mass end to the shape of the cluster luminosity function (LF). We compare the observed LFs of five galaxies containing young star clusters with synthetic cluster population models with varying initial conditions. The LF of the SMC, the LMC and NGC 5236 are characterized by a power-law behavior N ...
