Star Formation at Very Low Metallicity. V. The Greater Importance of Initial Conditions Compared to Metallicity Thresholds
A. -K. Jappsen, M. -M. Mac Low, S. C. O. Glover +2
The formation of the first stars out of metal-free gas appears to result in stars at least an order of magnitude more massive than in the present-day case. We here consider what co…
Is H3+ cooling ever important in primordial gas?
S. C. O. Glover, D. W. Savin
Studies of the formation of metal-free Population III stars usually focus primarily on the role played by H2 cooling, on account of its large chemical abundance relative to other p…
Cosmic constraints rule out s-wave annihilation of light dark matter
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Simon C. O. Glover, Robi Banerjee +1
Light dark matter annihilating into electron-positron pairs emits a significant amount of internal bremsstrahlung that may contribute to the cosmic gamma-ray background. The amount…
Open questions in the study of population III star formation
S. C. O. Glover, P. C. Clark, T. H. Greif +4
The first stars were key drivers of early cosmic evolution. We review the main physical elements of the current consensus view, positing that the first stars were predominantly ver…
The formation of the first galaxies and the transition to low-mass star formation
Thomas H. Greif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Jarrett L. Johnson +6
The formation of the first galaxies at redshifts z ~ 10-15 signaled the transition from the simple initial state of the universe to one of ever increasing complexity. We here revie…
Chemical mixing in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
Thomas H. Greif, Simon C. O. Glover, Volker Bromm +1
We introduce a simple and efficient algorithm for diffusion in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations and apply it to the problem of chemical mixing. Based on the concep…
