We demonstrate that at very low mass the distribution is given by a power law, with an exponent opposite in sign to that observed at high-mass regime. We further show that the value of this low-mass exponent is in principle calculable via dynamical systems theory applied to gravitational collapse. Qualitative agreement between numerical experiments and observational data is good.12 pages: plain LaTeXAstrophysicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyPower-laws from critical gravitational collapse: The mass distribution of subsolar objectstext
