Star Formation in the Primordial Gas
Edited by Ryoichi Nishi
Star formation in the primordial gas,
which is formed in the big bang universe,
is one of the important key points of the origin of our universe.
Meanwhile, recently, many high-redshift objects have been discovered
by the new observational facilities.
Moreover, one of the most important targets of next generation
large facilities is to search for
the earliest luminous objects. As a guideline of these projects, theoretical
investigation of this field has attracted much attention.
During the past decade, the detailed investigation of
primordial star formation, which is comparable to those of present-day
star formation, has been possible and done.
This Supplement gathers review articles of this field
by leading researchers.
The content includes Evolution of Primordial Gas Clouds
(Susa, Yamada), Formation of Star Formation Cores (Nishi, Nakamura),
Collapse of the Star Formation Cores and Star Formation (Omukai, Tsuribe),
Feedback to the Host Cloud (Nishi).
This volume provides a unique and coherent view on the evolution of
the primordial gas clouds and the star formation process in the
primordial gas.
This volume is beneficial to researchers and graduate students
in this field as well as to
those in related fields, who are interested in the high-redshift objects.
