Constraints on the Low-Mass IMF in Young Super-Star Clusters in Starburst Galaxies

As evidence for variations in the initial mass function (IMF) in nearby star forming regions remains elusive we are forced to expand our search to more extreme regions of star formation. Starburst galaxies, which contain massive young clusters have in the past been reported to have IMFs different th...
