Mass distribution averaged over the indicated intervals of age for the Antennae clusters (data points) and for Model 2 with k = 1.0 (lines). In this model, clusters have a power-law initial mass function, a constant formation rate, and gradual mass-dependent disruption. The solid lines were computed for the older clusters only from Equations (B6)–(B8) with the indicated values of τ *.
