Statistical sampling of the SCMF. The color coded probability of having five or more massive star clusters (with masses exceeding 106 M) is shown as a function of the slope of the stellar cluster mass function (SCMF, β) and the low-mass limit used to integrate the SCMF. The top panel presents the scenario where the entire mass of the CG galaxy is composed of stellar clusters (Γ = 100%), while the bottom panel illustrates the case with Γ = 50%.
