论文摘要
初始质量函数（IMF）是恒星形成过程的重要但神秘的方面。关于IMF的两个主要开放问题是：不管环境如何，IMF是否常数？国际货币基金组织是恒星形成的普遍特性吗？下一代极大的望远镜将使我们能够进一步观察到比目前的设施可能进一步观察，更紧凑的恒星簇。在这些程序中，我们介绍了我们的研究，研究这些未来的观察者将改善我们对IMF的了解。
The initial mass function (IMF) is an important, yet enigmatic aspect of the star formation process. The two major open questions regarding the IMF are: is the IMF constant regardless of environment? Is the IMF a universal property of star formation? The next generation of extremely large telescopes will allow us to observe further, fainter and more compact stellar clusters than is possible with current facilities. In these proceeding we present our study looking at just how much will these future observatories improve our knowledge of the IMF.
