Detailed Description

Implement Miller-Scalo IMF Uses the 3 segment power law fit for the Miller-Scalo IMF (Ap.J. Supp., 41,1979).

                        a1*(M**(b1))          0.1<M<1.
      IMF(Log10(M))=    a2*(M**(b2))         1.<M<10.
                        a3*(M**(b3))         10.<M

Miller-Scalo IMF (Miller & Scalo, Ap.J. Supp., 41, 513, 1979) in stars per unit logarithmic mass. Divide by M (mass) for IMF in stars per unit mass. Also IMF is defined per yer per pc^2, integrated over a cylinder that extends "several hundred parsecs on either side of the plane of the galaxy"
