Luminosity function and mass function of NGC 2516. The open and filled circles are the calculated LF with bin size ΔM_V = 1 mag but shifted by 0.5 mag to smooth out the binning effect. The transformation from LF to MF is described in the text. The thick solid line represents the MF slope for log m ≥ −0.1, while the thin line denotes the initial mass function of the solar neighborhood from Lee & Sung (1995) normalized at log m = 0.5 to −0.1.
