Power-law Initial Mass Function

Power-Law Initial Mass Function is a mathematical formulation of the initial mass function in astrophysics that describes the distribution of stellar masses at birth through a power-law relationship, distinguishing itself from other forms by its assumption of a constant logarithmic slope across mass ranges.
