feedback through ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from very massive stars during the …

The stellar initial mass function from random sampling in hierarchical clouds. II. Statistical fluctuations and a mass dependence for starbirth positions and times

BG Elmegreen - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
Observed variations in the slope of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) are shown to be
consistent with a previously introduced model in which the protostellar gas is randomly …

Optical-NIR dust extinction towards Galactic O stars

JM Apellániz, RH Barbá - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. O stars are excellent tracers of the intervening ISM because of their high luminosity,
blue intrinsic SED, and relatively featureless spectra. We are currently conducting the …

Distance and the initial mass function of young open clusters in the η Carina nebula: Tr 14 and Tr 16

H Hur, H Sung, MS Bessell - The Astronomical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We present new UBVI c CCD photometry of the young open clusters Trumpler 14 (Tr 14) and
