Age distribution averaged over the indicated intervals of mass 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 less massive and more massive clusters, respectively, from Equations (B5) and (B16).
