Stellar mass function defined by the northern 8 pc sample. The upper diagram plots the results if we adopt the empirical HMc93 calibration; the lower for masses calibrated by the 1 Gyr BCAH98 isochrone. In both cases the solid histogram/line delineates the star‐by‐star function; the dotted line marks the systemic function.
