On the population of primordial star clusters in the presence of UV background radiation
Michael A. MacIntyre, Fernando Santoro, Peter A. Thomas
We use the algorithm of Cole et al. (2000) to generate merger trees for the first star clusters in a Lambda CDM cosmology under an isotropic UV background radiation field, parametr…
Critical Metallicity and Fine-Structure Emission of Primordial Gas Enriched by the First Stars
Fernando Santoro, J. Michael Shull
The influence of the first stars on the formation of second-generation objects at high redshift may be determined, in part, by their metal enrichment of surrounding gas. At a criti…
The mass-function of primordial star clusters
Fernando Santoro, Peter A. Thomas
We use the block model to generate merger trees for the first star clusters in a LCDM cosmology. Using a simple collapse model and cooling criterion, we determine which halos are a…
