Time-integrated galaxy-wide IMF for all stars ever formed (thick solid red curve) and the galaxy-wide IMF for each 10 Myr star formation time step (thin solid curves) normalized by the total mass of a stellar population. Our best-fit IMF is compared with the canonical Kroupa (2001) IMF with α3 = 2.3 (dotted line) and the solar-neighborhood IMF from Kroupa et al. (1993) with α3 = 2.7 (dashed line).
