Universal Upper End of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in the Young and Compact LEGUS Clusters

We investigate the variation in the upper end of the stellar initial mass function (uIMF) in 375 young and compact star clusters in five nearby galaxies within ∼5 Mpc. All the young stellar clusters (YSCs) in the sample have ages ≲ 4 Myr and masses above 500 M _⊙ , according to standard stellar mode...
