Constraining the Stellar Mass Function in the Galactic Center via Mass Loss from Stellar Collisions

Figure 11

The amount of mass loss per logarithmic mass interval of the perturbed star as a function of the perturbed star’s mass. Each line was calculated with a different PDMF. The titles in each panel indicate the value of 𝑀 m i n used for that panel. In each panel, 𝛼 goes from 1.5 to 2.5 in even increments of 0.167, and for each line 𝑀 m a x = 1 2 5 𝑀 βŠ™ .
