An Apparent Gap in Stellar Mass Distributions around 0.7 Solar Masses and a Possible Explanation

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/121259Mass functions for samples of white dwarf stars and for a large heterogeneous sample of nearby stars appear to have unexplained deficits in the range of 0.70 to 0.75 Solar Masses. The existence, or non-existence, of this anomaly constitutes a definitive test of a fractal cosmological model that inherently predicts a gap in stellar mass functions at about 0.73 Solar Masses.18 pages with 4 figuresAstrophysicsAn Apparent Gap in Stellar Mass Distributions around 0.7 Solar Masses and a Possible Explanationtext
