N-body simulations find that primordial mass segregation imprints denser, unified tidal tails with bottom-heavy mass functions on star clusters, with effects strongest early and at small R_G but converging later.

Bayesian analysis of 163 open clusters finds a universal initial IMF slope of -2.29 with 0.17 scatter and minimal primordial mass segregation, followed by rapid internal mass segregation and later tidal MF flattening.
MST analysis of CMZoom data finds mass segregation in 5 of 17 CMZ clouds, inverse segregation or none in the rest, and no clear link to evolutionary stage or star-formation activity.

The fingerprint of primordial mass segregation on the tidal tails of star clusters
N-body simulations find that primordial mass segregation imprints denser, unified tidal tails with bottom-heavy mass functions on star clusters, with effects strongest early and at small R_G but converging later.

Evolution of the stellar mass function in open clusters from a universal and unsegregated initial state
Bayesian analysis of 163 open clusters finds a universal initial IMF slope of -2.29 with 0.17 scatter and minimal primordial mass segregation, followed by rapid internal mass segregation and later tidal MF flattening.
