Hello, I am having a lot of trouble understanding exactly what the initial mass function is.
I have a problem in which I am given the IMF for a globular cluster of stars, dN/dm=am^(-2.35) and the total mass of the cluster, 10^6 solar masses, and asked to find the constant a. Could someone help me with this as well as describe what units are involved with IMF's and integrating them? Thank you so much.
