CMD for the high‐resolution runs using the TVD (left), and SPH (right) schemes. Note that even at high resolution, a single power law does not necessarily reproduce the high‐mass wing of the CMD. Instead, a function that changes its slope more continuously (probably a lognormal function), from zero at maximum to large negative values for increasing masses, may reproduce the distribution better.
