The first stars: formation, properties, and impact

RS Klessen, SCO Glover - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
The first generation of stars, often called Population III (or Pop III), form from metal-free
primordial gas at redshifts z∼ 30 and below. They dominate the cosmic star-formation …

The numerical frontier of the high-redshift Universe

TH Greif - Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology, 2015 - Springer
The first stars are believed to have formed a few hundred million years after the big bang in
so-called dark matter minihalos with masses∼ 10 6 M⊙ ∼10^6M_⊙. Their radiation lit up …

[图书][B] Supernova explosions

D Branch, JC Wheeler - 2017 - Springer
JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

Population III star formation in an X-ray background: III. Periodic radiative feedback and luminosity induced by elliptical orbits

J Park, M Ricotti, K Sugimura - Monthly notices of the royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We model Pop III star formation in different FUV and X-ray backgrounds, including radiation
feedback from protostars. We confirm previous results that a moderate X-ray background …

Grids of stellar models with rotation – V. Models from 1.7 to 120 M at zero metallicity

LJ Murphy, JH Groh, S Ekström… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Understanding the nature of the first stars is key to understanding the early Universe. With
new facilities such as James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) we may soon have the first …

The formation and gravitational-wave detection of massive stellar black hole binaries

K Belczynski, A Buonanno, M Cantiello… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
If binaries consisting of two∼ 100 M☉ black holes exist, they would serve as extraordinarily
powerful gravitational-wave sources, detectable to redshifts of z∼ 2 with the advanced …

Population III star formation in an X-ray background–I. Critical halo mass of formation and total mass in stars

J Park, M Ricotti, K Sugimura - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The first luminous objects forming in the universe produce radiation backgrounds in the far-
ultraviolet and X-ray bands that affect the formation of Population III stars. Using a grid of …

Kindling the First Stars. I. Dependence of Detectability of the First Stars with JWST on the Population III Stellar Masses

MS Bovill, M Stiavelli, AI Wiggins… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The first Population III (Pop III) stars formed out of primordial, metal-free gas, in
minihalos at z> 20, and kickstarted the cosmic processes of reionization and enrichment …

Two-dimensional simulations of pulsational pair-instability supernovae

KJ Chen, S Woosley, A Heger, A Almgren… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Massive stars that end their lives with helium cores in the range of 35–65 M☉ are known to
produce repeated thermonuclear outbursts due to a recurring pair-instability. In some of …

Unique signatures of Population III stars in the global 21-cm signal

J Mirocha, RH Mebane, SR Furlanetto… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the effects of Population III stars on the sky-averaged 21-cm background
radiation, which traces the collective emission from all sources of ultraviolet and X-ray …
