Cluster initial mass functions of the simulated galaxies. The solid curves are the results of the high-resolution simulations, while the dotted curves are the results of the corresponding low-resolution galaxies. The grey dashed line presents the observed power-law relation with a slope of −2. Radiative feedback steepens the mass functions by rapidly dispersing the clouds and shutting off the further star formation.
