Abstract
The origin and possible universality of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a major issue in astrophysics. One of the main objectives of the <i>Herschel<i/> Gould Belt Survey is to clarify the link between the prestellar core mass function (CMF) and the IMF. We present and discuss the core mass function derived from <i>Herschel<i/> data for the large population of prestellar cores discovered with SPIRE and PACS in the Aquila rift cloud complex at <i>d<i/> ~ 260 pc. We detect a total of 541 starless cores in the entire ~11 deg<sup>2<sup/> area of the field imaged at 70–500 <i>μ<i/>m with SPIRE/PACS. Most of these cores appear to be gravitationally bound, and thus prestellar in nature. Our <i>Herschel<i/> results confirm that the shape of the prestellar CMF resembles the stellar IMF, with much higher quality statistics than earlier submillimeter continuum ground-based surveys.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
