We use cosmological simulations to assess how the explosion of the first stars in supernovae (SNe) influences early cosmic history. Specifically, we investigate the impact by SNe on the host systems for Population~III (Pop~III) star formation and explore its dependence on halo environment and Pop~III progenitor mass. We then trace the evolution of the enriched gas until conditions are met to trigger second-generation star formation. To this extent, we quantify the recovery timescale, which measures the time delay between a Pop~III SN explosion and the appearance of cold, dense gas, out of which second-generation stars can form. We find that this timescale is highly sensitive to the Pop~III progenitor mass, and less so to the halo environment. For more massive progenitors, including those exploding in pair instability SNe, second-generation star formation is delayed significantly, for up to a Hubble time. The dependence of the recovery time on the mass of the SN progenitor is mainly due to the ionizing impact of the progenitor star. Photoionization heating increases the gas pressure and initiates a hydrodynamical response that reduces the central gas density, an effect that is stronger in more massive. The gas around lower mass Pop~III stars remains denser and hence the SN remnants cool more rapidly, facilitating the subsequent re-condensation of the gas and formation of a second generation of stars. In most cases, the second-generation stars are already metal-enriched to ~2-5 X 10^{-4}zsun, thus belonging to Population~II. The recovery timescale is a key quantity governing the nature of the first galaxies, able to host low-mass, long-lived stellar systems. These in turn are the target of future deep-field campaigns with the James Webb Space Telescope.

It is widely recognized that nucleosynthetic output of the first, Population III supernovae was a catalyst defining the character of subsequent stellar generations. Most of the work on the earliest enrichment was carried out assuming that the first s
tars were extremely massive and that the associated supernovae were unusually energetic, enough to completely unbind the baryons in the host cosmic minihalo and disperse the synthesized metals into the intergalactic medium. Recent work, however, suggests that the first stars may in fact have been somewhat less massive, with a characteristic mass scale of a few tens of solar masses. We present a cosmological simulation following the transport of the metals synthesized in a Population III supernova assuming that it had an energy of 1e51 ergs, compatible with standard Type II supernovae. A young supernova remnant is inserted in the first stars relic HII region in the free expansion phase and is followed for 40 Myr employing adaptive mesh refinement and Lagrangian tracer particle techniques. The supernova remnant remains partially trapped within the minihalo and the thin snowplow shell develops pronounced instability and fingering. Roughly half of the ejecta turn around and fall back toward the center of the halo, with 1% of the ejecta reaching the center in 30 kyr and 10% in 10 Myr. The average metallicity of the combined returning ejecta and the pristine filaments feeding into the halo center from the cosmic web is 0.001 - 0.01 Z_sun, but the two remain unmixed until accreting onto the central hydrostatic core that is unresolved at the end of the simulation. We conclude that if Population III stars had less extreme masses, they promptly enriched the host minihalos with metals and triggered Population II star formation.
We investigate the effect of the population III (Pop III) stars supernova explosion~(SN) on the high redshifts reionization history using the latest Planck data. It is predicted that massive Pop~III stars~($130M_odotleq Mleq 270M_odot$) explode energ
etically at the end of their stellar life as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). In the explosion, supernova remnants grow as hot ionized bubbles and enhance the ionization fraction in the early stage of the reionization history. This enhancement affects the optical depth of the cosmic microwave background~(CMB) and generates the additional anisotropy of the CMB polarization on large scales. Therefore, analyzing the Planck polarization data allows us to examine the Pop III star SNe and the abundance of their progenitors, massive Pop III stars. In order to model the SN contribution to reionization, we introduce a new parameter $zeta$, which relates to the abundance of the SNe to the collapse fraction of the Universe. Using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method with the latest Planck polarization data, we obtain the constraint on our model parameter, $zeta$. Our constraint tells us that observed CMB polarization is consistent with the abundance of PISNe predicted from the star formation rate and initial mass function of Pop III stars in recent cosmological simulations. We also suggest that combining further observations on the late reionization history such as high redshift quasi-stellar object~(QSO) observations can provide tighter constraints and important information on the nature of Pop III stars.
We investigate the formation of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars that are observed in the Galactic halo and neighboring ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Their low metal abundances (${rm [Fe/H]} < -3$) indicate that their parent clouds were enriched by a s
ingle or several supernovae (SNe) from the first (Pop III) stars. In this study, we perform numerical simulations of the entire formation sequence of a EMP star through the feedback effects of photo-ionization and metal-enrichment by a Pop III SN. We for the first time employ a metal/dust properties calculated consistently with the progenitor model, and solve all relevant radiative cooling processes and chemical reactions including metal molecular formation and grain growth until the protostar formation. In a minihalo (MH) with mass $1.77times 10^{6} {rm M}_{bigodot}$, a Pop III star with mass $13 {rm M}_{bigodot}$ forms at redshift $z=12.1$. After its SN explosion, the shocked gas falls back into the central MH internally enriching itself. The metallicity in the recollapsing region is $2.6times 10^{-4} {rm Z}_{bigodot}$ (${rm [Fe/H]} = -3.42$). The recollapsing cloud undergoes cooling by HD, CO, and OH molecules and heating along with H$_2$ formation. Eventually by grain growth and dust cooling, knotty filaments appear in the central 100 au region with the help of turbulence driven by the SN, leading to the formation of low-mass EMP stars surviving until the present day.
We study the formation of low-mass and extremely metal-poor stars in the early universe. Our study is motivated by the recent discovery of a low-mass (M < 0.8 Msun) and extremely metal-poor (Z <= 4.5 x 10^{-5} Zsun) star in the Galactic halo by Caffa
u et al. We propose a model that early supernova (SN) explosions trigger the formation of low-mass stars via shell fragmentation. We first perform one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the evolution of an early SN remnant. We show that the shocked shell undergoes efficient radiative cooling and then becomes gravitationally unstable to fragment and collapse in about ten million years. We then follow the thermal evolution of the collapsing fragments using a one-zone code. Our one-zone calculation treats chemistry and radiative cooling self-consistently in low-metallicity gas. The collapsing gas cloud evolves roughly isothermally, until it cools rapidly by dust continuum emission at the density 10^{13}-10^{14} /cc. The cloud core then becomes thermally and gravitationally unstable and fragments. We argue that early SNe can trigger the formation of low-mass stars in the extremely metal-poor environment as Caffau et al. discovered recently.
A series of population models are designed to explore the star formation history of gas-rich, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. LSB galaxies are unique in having properties of very blue colors, low H$alpha$ emission and high gas fractions that i
ndicated a history of constant star formation (versus the declining star formation models used for most spirals and irregulars). The model simulations use an evolving multi-metallicity composite population that follows a chemical enrichment scheme based on Milky Way observations. Color and time sensitive stellar evolution components (i.e., BHB, TP-AGB and blue straggler stars) are included, and model colors are extended into the Spitzer wavelength regions for comparison to new observations. In general, LSB galaxies are well matched to the constant star formation scenario with the variation in color explained by a fourfold increase/decrease in star formation over the last 0.5 Gyrs (i.e., weak bursts). Early-type spirals, from the S$^4$G sample, are better fit by a declining star formation model where star formation has decreased by 40% in the last 12 Gyrs.
