Models of the IGIMF with an SFR dependence. Full lines: Models of the IGIMF with an imposed SFR–Mcl, max relation (Eq. (9)). Each subpanel contains models in which the IMF is universal (a = 0) and variable (a = 0.5, a = 1). Dashed lines: Similar to full line models with the additional constraint that the characteristic mass of the IMF, Mch, is dependent on the SFR (Eq. (4)).
