Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
  زمان ِ جهانی ِ هم‌آراسته   
zamân-e jahâni-ye hamrârâsté

Fr.: temps universel coordonné   

An international high-precision time standard based on the Greenwich Mean Time and adjusted to compensate for divergence from atomic time. It is based on the non-uniform rotation of the Earth (UT1) and the perfectly uniform international atomic time (TAI). UTC differs from TAI by the total number of → leap seconds, so that UT1-UTC stays smaller than 0.9 sec in absolute value.

coordinate; → universal; → time.

universality of the IMF
  هرگانی ِ کریای ِ آغازین ِ جرم   
hargâni-ye karyâ-ye âqâzin-e jerm

Fr.: universalité de l'IMF   

The hypothesis whereby there exists a universal parent → distribution function which describes the stellar → initial mass function in individual star forming events. A consensus appears to have emerged in the community that the stellar IMF is largely invariant for star formation conditions as are found throughout the Local Group of galaxies at the present time. For details and discussion see Pavel Kroupa (2012), Recent advances on IMF research, arXiv.org/abs/astro-ph/1210.1211, and references therein.

universality; → initial mass function.
