Abstract: The first stars in the Universe, the so-called Population III stars, form in small dark matter minihaloes with virial temperatures Tvir < 104 K. Cooling in these minihaloes is dominated by molecular hydrogen (H2), and so… read more here.

Abstract: Supermassive stars born in pristine environments in the early Universe hold the promise of being the seeds for the supermassive black holes observed as high redshift quasars shortly after the epoch of reionisation. H$_2$ suppression… read more here.
