The Low-mass Stellar Initial Mass Function in Nearby Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses that form in a given star formation event. The long main-sequence lifetimes of low-mass stars mean that the IMF in this regime (below ∼ 1 M _⊙ ) can be investigated through star counts. Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies are...
