Field Star Initial Mass Function

Field Star Initial Mass Function is a specialized form of the initial mass function that characterizes the distribution of stellar masses at birth specifically for isolated, non-clustered stars in the galactic field, distinguished from cluster-based initial mass functions by its focus on stars not dynamically associated with star-forming clusters.
