Star Cluster Initial Mass Function

The Star Cluster Initial Mass Function is a statistical distribution function that specifies the relative number of star clusters formed per unit initial mass interval, distinguishing it from other mass functions by characterizing the primordial mass distribution of entire clusters rather than individual stars.
