Early Enrichment Population Theory at High Redshift by Anne E. Blackwell, Joel N. Bregman

“…We determine best-fit values for the slope and mass break of the IMF by comparing IMFs from literature with observed DTDs and the low-luminosity component ( M ( R ) > −12) of the Coma LF. We derive two best-fit IMFs, flatter than standard IMFs: (1) α _lo  = −0.13 ± 0.24 for 0.07 <  M / M _⊙  < 1.75 and α _hi  = 0.53 ± 0.01 for 1.75 <  M / M _⊙  < 150; and (2) α _lo  = 1.06 ± 0.11 for 0.07 <  M / M _⊙  < 6 and α _hi  = 0.53 ± 0.01 for 6 <  M / M _⊙  < 150. …”
