Critical Mass of Halos for Pop III Star Formation

Critical Mass of Halos for Pop III Star Formation

It is expected that Population III stars form in minihaloes more massive than ~ 106 M☉. In the literature, however, Pop III-forming halos have wide mass ranges. Using Ramses-RT and PGadget-3, I aim at understanding conditions for Pop III star formation, and exploring their impact on galaxy formation.

Formation of Low-metallicity Stars

Formation of Low-metallicity Stars

It is known that Population III stars have top-heavy initial mass function. Using Ramses-PRISM (Katz+ 2022), I study the formation of low-poor stars to understand how properties of stars change with metallicity and how they contribute to the formation of galaxies across cosmic history.
