Mass distribution averaged over the indicated intervals of age for the Antennae clusters (data points) and for Model 3 with γ = −1.0 (lines). In this model, clusters have a power-law initial mass function, a constant formation rate, and gradual mass- independent disruption. The dashed and solid lines were computed for the younger and older clusters, respectively, from Equations (B14) and (B15).
