In the vast and diverse Universe, the initial mass distribution at the birth of a new population of stars determines the fate of galaxies. This relationship is described by the Initial Mass Function ...

For the first time, scientists used methods of network science to solve a fundamental astrophysical problem -- explaining the so-called 'initial mass function', a distribution of stars by mass in ...
