Fragmentation Rate

An analytical, theoretical, time-dependent initial mass function is derived for the objects created in the fragmentation of a gravitationally unstable gas protocloud. The mass spectrum depends on the chemical-dynamical-radiative evolution of the protocloud and it peaks at a mass slightly greater than the minimum Jeans mass attained throughout the evolution. A fragmentation rate mass spectrum is also analytically derived.

Halo Population

Photometric and recent spectroscopic studies of the SMC have shown that the differences observed in the SMC clusters and those of our Galaxy could be attibuted to differences in metallicity, star formation rate and/or the Initial Mass Function (IMF) (Humphries, 1983). The studied clusters NGC152 and KRON3 are located at the west side of the bar of the SMC and their adjoining fields represent the halo population of this galaxy.
