The maximum stellar mass, star-cluster formation and composite stellar populations
We demonstrate that the mass of the most massive star in a cluster correlates nontrivially with the cluster mass. A simple algorithm according to which a cluster is filled up with stars that are chosen randomly from the standard IMF but sorted with increasing mass yields an excellent description of the observational data. Algorithms based on random sampling from the IMF without sorted adding ar...
متن کاملStellar populations in local star - forming galaxies . II . - Recent star formation properties and stellar masses
We present the integrated properties of the stellar populations in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey galaxies. Applying the techniques described in the first paper of this series, we derive ages, burst masses and metallicities of the newly-formed stars in our sample galaxies. The population of young stars is responsible for the Hα emission used to detect the objects in the UCM ...
متن کاملThe initial mass function of simple and composite stellar populations
The distribution of stellar masses that form together, the initial mass function (IMF), is one of the most important astrophysical distribution functions. The determination of the IMF is a very difficult problem because stellar masses cannot be measured directly and because observations usually cannot assess all stars in a population requiring elaborate bias corrections. Nevertheless, impressiv...
متن کاملThe galaxy stellar mass–star formation rate relation: Evidence for an evolving stellar initial mass function?
The evolution of the galaxy stellar mass–star formation rate relationship (M∗−SFR) provides key constraints on the stellar mass assembly histories of galaxies. For star-forming galaxies, M∗−SFR is observed to be fairly tight with a slope close to unity from z ∼ 0 → 2, and it evolves downwards roughly independently of M∗. Simulations of galaxy formation reproduce these trends, broadly independen...
متن کاملStar Formation and the Growth of Stellar Mass
Recent observations have demonstrated a significant growth in the integrated stellar mass of the red sequence since z = 1, dominated by a steadily increasing number of galaxies with stellar masses M∗ < 10M⊙. In this paper, we use the COMBO-17 photometric redshift survey in conjunction with deep Spitzer 24μm data to explore the relationship between star formation and the growth of stellar mass. ...
