CHEMICAL SIGNATURES OF THE FIRST GALAXIES: CRITERIA FOR ONE-SHOT ENRICHMENT

We utilize metal-poor stars in the local, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; L [subscript tot] ≤ 10[superscript 5] L [subscript ☉]) to empirically constrain the formation process of the first galaxies. Since UFDs have much simpler star formation histories than the halo of the Milky Way, their stellar...
