Multiple populations in star clusters

AP Milone, AF Marino - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): ie, the
evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or …

On the variation of the initial mass function

P Kroupa - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001 - academic.oup.com
A universal initial mass function (IMF) is not intuitive, but so far no convincing evidence for a
variable IMF exists. The detection of systematic variations of the IMF with star-forming …

Evolutionary models for solar metallicity low-mass stars: mass-magnitude relationships and color-magnitude diagrams
