Spectacular Nucleosynthesis from Early Massive Stars

Spectacular Nucleosynthesis from Early Massive Stars

Stars that formed with an initial mass of over 50 M _⊙ are very rare today, but they are thought to be more common in the early Universe. The fates of those early, metal-poor, massive stars are highly uncertain. Most are expected to directly collapse to black holes, while some may explode as a resul...
