Comparison of observable quantities from the star formation models with our observations.
| Parameter | Core accretion | Competitive accretion | Collisions | This work |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CF | CF ∝ mass | CF ∝ mass | – | CF ∝ mass |
| IMF | Top heavy | Top heavy | Strong deviation from Salpeter IMF | Salpeter IMF |
| m2 and m1 | Correlated | – | – | Uncorrelated or slightly correlated |
| r and M | Correlated | r ∝ M−2 | – | Uncorrelated |
| q and r | – | anticorrelated | – | Most q ≤ 0.5 uncorrelated |
