The stellar initial mass function in the early universe revealed from old stellar populations in our neighbourhood
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 July 2013
Abstract
We present a new method to investigate the IMF in the early universe from observations of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars. EMP stars are the low-mass survivors of stars which are formed in the early universe. We can give constraints on the IMF from statistics of the elemental abundances of the EMP stars in the Galactic halo.
