| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent theoretical studies show that Pop III and metal-poor supernovae (SNe) will be visible in the NIR and optical bands for z ~ 0.01 - 30 by many current and future surveys: WISH, WFIRST, JWST, PTF, Pan-STARRS, LSST. The main purpose of this research is to calculate light curve and spectra templates that are in demand for finding and fast identification of first SNe. The observation of Pop III SNe is a potential to directly probe the properties of the first stars, which are the key to the formation of primitive galaxies, early cosmological reionization and chemical enrichment, and the origin of supermassive black holes. In accordance with the purpose of research multicolor light curves for a number of metal-free core-collapse SN models have been calculated. It was found that color evolution of the plateau phase is helpful for identification of zero- and low- metallicity SNe by current and future transient surveys.
