Zero Metallicity with Zero CPU Hours: Masses of the First Stars on the Laptop

We develop an analytic model for the mass of the first stars forming in the centers of primordial gas clouds as a function of host halo mass, redshift, and degree of rotation. The model is based on the estimation of key timescales determining the following three processes: the collapse of the gas cl...
