Table 1.
Best-fit IMF models.
| Model name | α3 | mup |
|---|---|---|
| a23m150 | 2.3 | 150 |
| a23m100 | 2.3 | 100 |
| a268m130 | 2.68 | 130 |
Notes. The fiducial a23m150 model adopts the canonical IMF parameters. a23m100 is the best fit IMF model working with stochastic sampling with mup being a free parameter. a268m130 is the best fit IMF model working with stochastic sampling with both α3 and mup being free parameters. We note that the best-fit mup value listed here is only a reflection of adopted literature mass estimations while higher mass estimations of extremely massive stars have been suggested (Crowther et al. 2010; Schneider et al. 2018; Higgins et al. 2022) but may be mergers (Banerjee et al. 2012a; Oh & Kroupa 2018).
