THE CHEMICAL IMPRINT OF SILICATE DUST ON THE MOST METAL-POOR STARS
We investigate the impact of dust-induced gas fragmentation on the formation of the first low-mass, metal-poor stars (<1 M[subscript ☉]) in the early universe. Previous work has shown the existence of a critical dust-to-gas ratio, below which dust thermal cooling cannot cause gas fragmentation. A...
