2 First Stars In the early universe, first stars provide high energy photons and synthesized materials, affecting the evolution of the universe.

3 Theoretical studies has revealed the part of the nature of the Pop III star formation. In an ab-initio cosmological simulation, gravitationally unstable primordial gas clouds of ~1000 M8 start to collapse to form a proto-stellar core of ~0.01 M8 in a small dark matter halo of M8 at the red shift of ~ Though large uncertainties exist in a later accretion phase, the initial mass range (e.g., Hirano et al. 2014) or the initial rotational property (Stacy et al. 2011) of the first stars are investigated. How can we observationally confirm characteristics of the first stars?

5 The Mixing-fallback Model

6 Aim: To find characteristic stellar yields. That is useful to constrain -the initial mass and -the rotation of first stars.

7 Stellar Evolution Calculation 24 massive first stars are calculated for a wide initial parameter range. - Z=0 - M ini = M8 covering CCSNe progenitors - Moderate initial rotation (v ZAMS /v k ~ 0.15, ~ km/s) log L/L M 80 M 50 M 30 M 20 M - From d-burning to collapse 4 12 M non-rotating rotating log T eff

8 Stellar Evolution Code Rotation affects stellar structure and evolution. Three effects are treated in 1(.5)-dimensional stellar evolution calculations. Rotation profiles are assumed to be shelluler (constant on isobars) (Zahn 92). (NOTE: Rotating stellar model has a lot of uncertainties.) 1) Deformation by centrifugal force (Meynet&Maeder97, Denissenkov&VandenBerg03) 2) Matter mixing by rotationally induced instabilities 3) Enhancement of mass-loss (Heger+00, Heger+05) (Langer98, Maeder&Meynet00, Yoon+12)

10 Supernova Yields from Weak Supernovae Two assumptions are; log mass fraction Fallback Eject H He C N O Ne Na Mg Al Si Ca non-rotating 1. Only gravitationally weakly bound outer distributed matter is ejected by the explosion. 2. Shock wave is too weak to modify the outer distributed matter by the explosive nucleosynthesis rotating mass coordinate [M ] M in = f in x M CO Then the explosive yields can be calculated by a simple integration, M i (M in )= Msurface M in of the ejection and X i (M)dM, is an abun

11 Supernova Yields from Weak Supernovae Thus our stellar yields have three parameters, 1. M ini : Initial mass 2. V rot : Stellar rotation 3. M in (or f in ) : Inner boundary of the ejection. Point: The weak supernova yields depend on the initial mass and stellar rotation of the progenitor, since the initial parameters affect the abundance distribution in helium layers and hydrogen envelopes. From now on, four yield characteristics and the dependence on the initial parameters are shown with the fixed M in.

12 Take M in = M CO, f in = 1 to show features of the outer abundance distributions. M i (M in )= Msurface M in X i (M)dM, of the ejection and is an abun 30M8 models 80M8 models log mass fraction H He C N O Ne Na Mg Al Si Ca non-rotating log mass fraction H He C N O Ne Na Mg Al Si Ca non-rotating rotating -8 rotating mass coordinate [M ] mass coordinate [M ]

13 2. Nitrogen During core helium burning phase, carbon and oxygen are transported from the core convective zone to the base of the hydrogen envelope. The CNO cycle initiates owing to the transport of the seed materials, producing nitrogen around the region.

14 2. Sodium and Aluminum Alpha capture reactions by nitrogen synthesizes 22 Ne. 14 N(α, γ) 18 F(β + νe) 18 O(α, γ) 22 Ne And alpha capture reaction by 22 Ne emits neutron. 22 Ne (α, n) 25 Mg Z Al 27 Free neutron is captured by 22 Ne and 26(25) Mg, producing 23 Na and 27 Al respectively. Mg Na Ne Ne (n) 23 Ne(β - νe) 23 Na 26 Mg (n) 27 Mg(β - νe) 27 Al F O N N

15 4. Calcium Non-rotating >80 M8 models produce calcium by the break-out reactions from the CNO cycle. The reactions take place at the base of the hydrogen envelope. log mass fraction H He C N O Ne Na Mg Al Si Ca non-rotating 40 Ca mass coordinate [M ]

16 Summary: 1. Weak SN yields have a small O/C ratio 2. Rotating models yield N, Na and Al. 3. Massive models yield Mg and Si. 4. Non-rotating massive models yield Ca.

Less massive models of <40M8 produce Na and Al besides Mg, since the Mg production is attributed to carbon burning C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca Z

The progenitor should be massive but do not rotate fast. The 60 M8 model consistently explains the abundance pattern from C to Si C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca Calcium in the star may be explained by the 80M8 model. Z

20 Abundance Profiling HE enhancement of Na can be explained by efficient internal mixing in the progenitor. [X/Fe] HE D/nLTE correction m30-rot-1.07 m30-hrot-1.02 m40-qrot-1.02 m40-hrot C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca Z

21 Results of the abundance profiling SMSS mass range: Msun rotation : only non-rotating models : (for 60 Msun) fin HE mass range: Msun rotation : both rotating and non-rotating models : (for non-rot 20 Msun) fin HE mass range: Msun rotation : only rotating models : (for 30 Msun) fin

22 Conclusion: We find characteristic stellar yields. Examples are Mg, Si enhancement by massive progenitors and Na, Al enhancement by rotating progenitors. We constrain the progenitor initial parameters for the three most iron-deficient stars. The presented analysis will be applicable to other carbonenhanced hyper metal poor stars observed in the future, and will give valuable information about the characteristics of the first stars.

24 Model in Keller et al. (2014) log(element number fraction relative to the solar value) C O N Na Al Mg Si Ca Ti Sc V Cr Fe Ni Zn Sr Mn Co Cu The progenitor is a non-rotating 60 M8 star with an explosion of 1.8x10 51 erg. They attribute the calcium production to the CNO break-out during the stable hydrogen burning phase Atomic number Model in Ishigaki et al. (2014) Accrete(f= ) Eject Among the models, a non-rotating 25 M8 star with an explosion of 1.0x10 52 erg reproduces observed abundances [(Na, Mg, Al)/C]. They attribute magnesium production to explosive nucleosynthesis at the base of the helium layer.

25 Explosion energy will be important for second generation star formation. Ritter et al. (2012) calculates a Pop III supernova of 1. x erg, showing that the only half of the supernova ejecta is trapped into the host halo. Using the results of Ritter et al, carbon abundance of the polluted host gas may be deduced as X(C) = (1 f esc) (f C 10 1 ) f pol ), ( )( ( 0.2 )( 1 = fesc f C f pol log[ (0 2 )(1 and this is equivalent to ) 0 5] (Ritter+12) o [C/H] = log[f C (0.2/f pol )(1 f esc )/0.5]. To account for the observed abundance of [C/H]~-2.6 for SMSS 0313, the weak supernova model may be more plausible than a highly energetic model.

26 HE mass range: Msun rotation : only rotating models f in : (for 30 Msun) Model in Limongi et al. (2003) The abundance pattern is explained by a superposition of two supernovae, a typical 15 M8 explosion (M Fe = 0.056M8 ) and a less energetic 35 M8 explosion (Min = 9.6M8 ). Sodium production is attributed to proton ingestion in the 35 M8 model.

(2005) Mixed(f=1.2x10-4 ) Eject The progenitor is a 25 M8 star with mass cut of 6.2 M8. They attribute the sodium production to ejection of the inner material in the carbon burning region.
