Magnetic fields in the formation of the first stars.--II Results

Athena Stacy, Christopher F. McKee, Aaron T. Lee +2

Beginning with cosmological initial conditions at z=100, we simulate the effects of magnetic fields on the formation of Population III stars and compare our results with the predic…

Magnetic Fields in the Formation of the First Stars. I. Theory vs. Simulation

Christopher F. McKee, Athena Stacy, Pak Shing Li

While magnetic fields are important in contemporary star formation, their role in primordial star formation is unknown. Magnetic fields of order 10^-16 G are produced by the Bierma…

Modeling the survival of Population III stars till present day

Jayanta Dutta, Sharanya Sur, Athena Stacy +1

Recent numerical simulations have suggested the probability of a fraction of the primordial stars to be ejected from the cluster of their origin. We explore the possibility that so…

Building up the Population III initial mass function from cosmological initial conditions

Athena Stacy, Volker Bromm, Aaron T. Lee

We simulate the growth of a Population III stellar system, starting from cosmological initial conditions at z=100. We follow the formation of a minihalo and the subsequent collapse…

The First Stars: formation under cosmic ray feedback

Jacob A. Hummel, Athena Stacy, Volker Bromm

We explore the impact of a cosmic ray (CR) background generated by supernova explosions from the first stars on star-forming metal-free gas in a minihalo at . Starting fro…
