the relation between a star's mass at birth and the mass of the white dwarf it leaves, which sets how much mass stars return to the galaxy.

In astrophysics, initial-final mass relation refers to the relation between a star's mass at birth and the mass of the white dwarf it leaves, which sets how much mass stars return to the galaxy. This meaning comes from Kalirai (2008) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
