Mass Function of Newly Formed Stars

Abstract

The topic of the stellar "original mass function" has a nearly 50 year history, dating to the publication in 1955 of Salpeter's seminal paper. In this review I discuss the many more recent results that have emerged on the initial mass function (IMF), as it is now called, from studies over the last decade of resolved populations in star forming regions and young open clusters.
