Moving Group Candidates Estimated Mass Function

These plots show histograms of the mass estimates of <em>bona fide</em> members and candidates members of all young moving groups including TW Hydrae, Beta Pictoris, Tucana-Horologium, Carina, Columba, Argus and AB Doradus. Green bars are <em>bona fide</em> members, yellow bars represent a log-normal IMF consistent with the current number of <em>bona fide</em> members, red bars are candidate members from Gagné et al. (in prep.), purple bars are candidates members for which youth was confirmed (Gagné et al. in prep. and Gagné et al. 2013, submitted to ApJ). Fuschia bars are candidate members from Malo et al. (2013) and Malo et al. (2014, submitted to ApJ). Masses were estimated by comparing absolute magnitudes computer from Bayesian statistical distance predictions with AMES-COND isochrones (Baraffe et al. 2003) in combination with CIFIST2011 BT-SETTL atmosphere models (Allard et al. 2013, Rajpurohit et al. 2013) in a likelihood analysis (See Gagné et al. 2013, submitted to ApJ for more information).
