The most massive Population III stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 Recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that there are realistic prospects for detecting the earliest generation of stars at redshift ∼20. These metal-poor, gaseous Population III (Pop III) stars are likely in the mass range 10 − 103 M⊙.

Characterization of Population III Stars with Stellar Atmosphere and Evolutionary Modeling and Predictions of their Observability with the JWST [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Population III stars were the first stars to form after the Big Bang and are believed to have made the earliest contribution to the metal content of the universe beyond the products of the Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

LAP1-B is the First Observed System Consistent with Theoretical Predictions for Population III Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersRecently, Nakajima et al. presented James Webb Space Telescope observations of the z = 6.6 Population III (Pop III) candidate LAP1-B, which is gravitationally lensed by galaxy cluster MACS J0416. We argue that this is the first object to agree with three

Binary black hole mergers from population III stars: uncertainties from star formation and binary star properties [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 Population III (Pop. III) binary stars likely produced the first stellar-born binary black hole (BBH) mergers in the Universe. Here, we quantify the main sources of uncertainty for the merger rate density evolution and mass spectrum of Pop. III BBHs by

Stellar winds and metal enrichment from fast-rotating Population III stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 Stellar winds from fast-rotating Population III (Pop III) stars have long been suspected to make important contributions to early metal enrichment, as features in the nucleosynthesis of such ‘spinstars’ are consistent with the chemical abundance ...

Detecting Population III Stars through Tidal Disruption Events in the Era of JWST and Roman [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe first-generation metal-free stars, referred to as Population III (Pop III) stars, are believed to be the first objects to form out of the pristine gas in the very early Universe.

The evolution of supermassive Population III stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 Supermassive primordial stars forming in atomically-cooled halos at $z \sim15-20$ are currently thought to be the progenitors of the earliest quasars in the Universe. In this picture, the star evolves under accretion rates of $0.1 - 1$ $M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$

Predicting the observability of population III stars with ELT-HARMONI via the helium 1640 Å emission line [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 Population III (Pop. III) stars, as of yet, have not been detected, however as we move into the era of extremely large telescopes this is likely to change. One likely tracer for Pop.

Evolution of Massive Population III Stars
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014 While the evolution of massive stars in the local Universe is dominated by mass-loss, the evolution of massive Population III stars should be dominated by rotation.
