The fragmentation properties of massive star-forming regions in 30Dor-10 at 2000 au resolution

The fragmentation properties of parsec- scale clumps play a fundamental role in shaping the dense gas condensations known as cores, the immediate progenitor of stars. The distribution of core masses, the so-called core mass function, is the precursor of the stellar initial mass function, which gover...

Descrizione
Riassunto:The fragmentation properties of parsec- scale clumps play a fundamental role in shaping the dense gas condensations known as cores, the immediate progenitor of stars. The distribution of core masses, the so-called core mass function, is the precursor of the stellar initial mass function, which governs the distribution of stellar masses and, consequently, the evolution of galaxies. The stellar initial mass function is often described by a typical Salpeter-like slope, although deviations toward more top-heavy distributions have been reported in extreme environments, raising questions about its universality and about the physical connection between the two mass functions. To date, there are no observational constraints on the core mass function and its link to the initial mass function beyond the Milky Way.
