The Formation of the First Stars
Richard B. Larson
The first bound star-forming systems in the universe are predicted to form at redshifts of about 30 and to have masses of the order of 10^6 M_sun. Although their sizes and masses a…
Forming the First Stars in the Universe: The Fragmentation of Primordial Gas
Volker Bromm, Paolo S. Coppi, Richard B. Larson
In order to constrain the initial mass function (IMF) of the first generation of stars (Population III), we investigate the fragmentation properties of metal-free gas in the contex…
The First Stars: Final Remarks
Richard B. Larson
How did star formation begin in the universe? Some of the questions addressed at this first meeting on "The First Stars" are summarized here from a theoretical perspective, and som…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function
Richard B. Larson
The current status of both the observational evidence and the theory of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is reviewed, with particular attention to the two basic, apparently…
The Stellar Initial Mass Function: Constraints from Young Clusters and Theoretical Perspectives
Michael R. Meyer, Fred C. Adams, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +2
We summarize recent observational and theoretical progress aimed at understanding the origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) with specific focus on galactic star-forming…
