Theory of Star Formation (2007, background): “For sufficiently massive and concentrated clusters, the escape velocity exceeds the sound speed of ionized gas, and this can further increase the star formation efficiency (Kroupa & Boily, 2002; Matzner, 2002; Tan & McKee, 2004).”

Stellar-mass black holes in star clusters: implications for gravitational-wave radiation (2009, methodology): “We take the mass function of the IMCs to be a power law with index α = −2 which is the approximate index of the ICMF in spiral and starburst galaxies (see e.g. Gieles et al. 2004; Larsen 2009a).”

UV-Optical Colors as Probes of Early-Type Galaxy Evolution (2006, background): “…suggest that birth clouds are transient features with lifetimes of a few tens of Myrs (e.g. Blitz and Shu 1980; Hartmann et al. 2001), a recent work (Scoville and Wilson 2004) suggests that the low efficiency of star formation in these clouds implies significantly longer lifetimes (∼ 100 Myrs).”
