How Does Nature Build the Stellar Initial Mass Function? From Star-forming Cores to Compact OB Cluster

Date:

Colloquium talk Königstuhl Colloquium (KoCo), Max Planck Institute for Astronomy Heidelberg, Germany

Königstuhl Colloquium (KoCo) is a joint colloquium of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) and the Landessternwarte (LSW) of the ZAH, where scientists from both institutions as well as their guests present new results.

In this weekly colloquium, I present my efforts in connecting the origin of the stellar initial mass function with the evolution of star-forming cores and the assembly of a compact massive stellar system.
