The infrared glow of the first stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2006
Abstract Kashlinsky et al. find a significant cosmic infrared background fluctuation excess on angular scales ≳50 arcsec that cannot be explained by instrumental noise or local foregrounds. The excess has been tentatively attributed to emission from primordial, very massive (Population III, hereafter PopIII) stars formed ≤ 200 Myr after ...

Breaking through the cosmic fog: JWST/NIRSpec constraints on ionizing photon escape in reionization-era galaxies

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. The escape fraction of Lyman continuum photons (fesc(LyC)) is the last key unknown in our understanding of cosmic reionization. Directly estimating the escape fraction (fesc) of ionizing photons in the epoch of reionization (EoR) is impossible, due

Where Are the First Stars Now? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We use high-resolution simulations to show that the current standard paradigm for the growth of structure in the Universe predicts the formation of a galaxy like our own to differ substantially from the classic ELS and Searle/Zinn pictures. On scales larger than the Local Group, the earliest star formation was extremely inhomogeneous, suggesting that ...

Signatures of very massive stars in the epoch of reionization

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present ultra-deep (≃20 − 30 hours) rest-frame UV spectroscopy with NIRSpec of two UV-bright galaxies at z ∼ 8.7, CEERS-1019 and CEERS-1025 (Zneb ≃ 0.1 Z⊙), obtained as part of the JWST Cycle 4 SPURS large program.

The first stars: a classification of CEMP-no stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2015
We propose and apply a new classification for the CEMP-no stars, which are "carbon-enhanced metal-poor" stars with no overabundance of s-elements and with [Fe/H] generally inferior or equal to -2.5. This classification is based on the changes in abundances for the elements and isotopes involved in the CNO, Ne-Na, and Mg-Al nuclear cycles.

GLIMPSE-D: Metallicity decline in faint galaxies: Implications for [O III]+Hβ luminosity function and re-ionisation budget

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We report the measurement of the R3 = [O III] λ5008/Hβ ratios for 54 galaxies in the GLIMPSE-D survey. Thanks to gravitational lensing, our sample includes galaxies with −20 ≲ MUV

The first stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1983
Primordial clouds are likely to be remarkably uniform over stellar mass-scales in the absence of a pre-existing generation of stars. Thermal instability is found to occur during the collapse of a primordial cloud when the H2 abundance is rising and the H2 optical depth is of order unity.
