Open Questions
- What role did they play in reionization and metal enrichment?
- What feedback did they exert on later star formation? (Pop III to Pop II transition)
This depends on the Pop III IMF, SFR, and rotation rates…
- What were their typical masses?
- What was their typical multiplicity?
- When will a Pop III protostar’s accretion become shut off by feedback ?

II. Pop III Star Formation With Radiative Feedback
Stacy, Greif, & Bromm, 2012, MNRAS, 422, 290

Protostellar Feedback
• Repeat previous cosmological simulation, but with updated H2 cooling rates (Sobolev approximation)
• Model LW radiation and growth of surrounding HII region
• Also performed a comparison “no-feedback” simulation
• How will radiation alter the growth of the Pop III star?

III. Pop III Formation Under Dark Matter Effects?
Stacy, Pawlik, Bromm, & Loeb 2012, MNRAS, 421, 894

WIMP annihilation important for Pop III stars?
(www.nasa.gov, Sky and Telescope, Gregg Dinderman)
Can it heat SF gas, or replace/supplement nuclear fusion?
![Page 27: Formation of the First Stars Under Protostellar Feedback Athena Stacy First Stars IV 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ebc5503460f94bc58c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pop III stars form in regions of high DM density
![Page 28: Formation of the First Stars Under Protostellar Feedback Athena Stacy First Stars IV 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56649ebc5503460f94bc58c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
May lead to extremely massive and luminous Pop III stars
(e.g., Freese et al. 2008, Spolyar et al. 2008, Ioccoet. al 2008, Natarajan et al. 2009)

DM heating and capture rates
Higher DM density greater effect on gas and stars
1. DM heating delayed protostellar contraction prolonged accretion (M* reaches 105 M?)
2. DM capture by MS star burn DM instead of hydrogen prolonged stellar lifetime (to z=0?)

But will this work in a Pop III MULTIPLE system?

New DM Initialization
1. Begin simulation immediately after the first sink has formed2. Align DM peak with main sink3. Continue simulation for 20,000 yrHow will these DM profiles evolve? Will density stay peaked?

Conclusions• Range of Pop III masses is likely very broad.
• Multiple mechanisms, particularly disk fragmentation, will contribute to formation of low mass stars.
• Fragmentation and broad mass range likely to describe Pop III stars even under radiative feedback! Possibly massive binaries
• Pop III stars can likely reach tens of solar masses, but hundreds of solar masses may be harder (see also Susa and Hosokawa’s talks)
Maybe explains why PISN signature has not been
observed (requires 140M < M* < 260M)
• Pop III multiplicity will strongly mitigate effects of DM annihilation - ‘dark stars’ unlikely (see also Smith’s poster and Iocco’s talk)
• Growing understanding of Pop III stars will ultimately increase physical realism of models of later star and galaxy formation
