The dependence of star formation on initial conditions and molecular cloud structure.
BATE M.R.
Abstract (from CDS):
Despite this change to the initial motions in the cloud and the resulting density structure of the molecular cloud, the stellar properties resulting from the two calculations are indistinguishable. This demonstrates that the results of such hydrodynamical calculations of star cluster formation are relatively insensitive to the initial conditions. It is also consistent with the fact that the statistical properties of stars and brown dwarfs (e.g. the stellar initial mass function) are observed to be relatively invariant within our Galaxy and do not appear to depend on environment.
