Scientific paper

The topic of the stellar "original mass function" has a nearly 50 year
history,dating to the publication in 1955 of Salpeter's seminal paper. In this
review I discuss the many more recent results that have emerged on the initial
mass function (IMF), as it is now called, from studies over the last decade of
resolved populations in star forming regions and young open clusters.
