Extragalactic Initial Mass Function

The Extragalactic Initial Mass Function is a statistical model that describes the distribution of stellar masses at birth within galaxies beyond the Milky Way, distinguishing itself from the galactic Initial Mass Function by accounting for variations in star formation environments and metallicities observed in external galaxies.
