The Era of Massive Population III Stars: Cosmological Implications and Self-Termination

Naoki Yoshida, Volker Bromm, Lars Hernquist

The birth and death of the first generation of stars have important implications for the thermal state and chemical properties of the intergalactic medium (IGM) in the early univer…

The characteristic stellar mass as a function of redshift

Cathie J. Clarke, Volker Bromm

We present a model for the star formation process during the initial collapse of dark matter haloes at redshifts z=0-30. We derive a simple expression for the characteristic stella…

Low-Mass Relics of Early Star Formation

R. Schneider, A. Ferrara, R. Salvaterra +2

The earliest stars to form in the Universe were the first sources of light, heat and metals after the Big Bang. The products of their evolution will have had a profound impact on s…
