Detecting the Transition From Pop III to Pop II Stars
We discuss the cosmological significance of the transition from the Pop III to Pop II mode of star formation in the early universe, and when and how it may occur in primordial galaxies. Observations that could detect this transition include those of element abundances in metal-poor Galactic halo stars, and of the helium reionization and associated heating of the intergalactic medium. We suggest...
متن کاملDetecting Pop Iii Objects with Ngst
We discuss some aspects concerning the formation and the impact of the first luminous structures in the universe (PopIIIs), with particular emphasis on their feedback effects on subsequent galaxy formation. We argue that supernovae in these objects might provide, if detected, important constraints for cosmological models. Some of these constraints come from the gravitational magnification of th...
متن کاملEvolving Spectra of Pop III Stars: Consequences for Cosmological Reionization
We examine the significance of the first metal-free stars (Pop III) for the cosmological reionization of H I and He II. These stars have unusually hard spectra, with the integrated ionizing photon rates from a Pop III stellar cluster for H I and He II being 1.6 and 10 times stronger respectively than those from a Pop II cluster. For the currently favored cosmology, we find that Pop III stars al...
متن کاملSearching for Pop III stars and galaxies at high redshift
We review the expected properties of Pop III and very metal-poor starburst and the behaviour the Lyα and He ii λ1640 emission lines, which are most likely the best/easiest signatures to single out such objects. Existing claims of Pop III signatures in distant galaxies are critically examined, and the searches for He ii λ1640 emission at high redshift are summarised. Finally, we briefly summaris...
متن کاملRotational mixing in low-mass stars II. Self-consistent models of Pop II RGB stars
In this paper we study the effects of rotation in low-mass, low-metallicity RGB stars. We present the first evolutionary models taking into account self-consistently the latest prescriptions for the transport of angular momentum by meridional circulation and shear turbulence in stellar interiors as well as the associated mixing processes for chemicals computed from the ZAMS to the upper RGB. We...
