An infrared imaging survey of the rho OPH and R CrA darkcloud cores.
Abstract
We report on an initial survey of the cores of the Rho Ophiuchus and R Coronae Australis clouds, made with the AAT's new IR array camera, IRIS. No turnover is seen in the initial luminosity function for Rho Oph to the sensitivity limit of the survey. Some implications for the low mass end of the initial mass function are discussed.
