Mass Limits to Primordial Star Formation from Protostellar Feedback
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
How massive were the first stars? This question is of fundamental importance for galaxy formation and cosmic reionization. Here we consider how protostellar feedback can limit the…

Theories of Massive Star Formation: Collisions, Accretion and the View from the "I" of Orion
Jonathan C. Tan
I review the arguments motivating models for massive star formation via stellar collisions. I then describe how the standard accretion scenario, involving the collapse of a quasi-h…

The Formation of Massive Stars and Star Clusters
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
We model the formation of high-mass stars, specifying the accretion rate in terms of the instantaneous and final mass of the star, the ambient pressure of the star-forming region a…
