Outline of Final Research Achievements

We perform radiation hydrodynamics numerical simulations to study the birth of the first stars. We find the mass of the stars found in our simulations are in the range of 1Msun < M < 300 Msun, peaking at several x 10 Msun. We also find some fraction of the low mass stars are ejected to the outer envelope of the host minihalos. As a result, they remain less massive since they do not accrete the ambient gas efficiently. In addition, if low mass stars with M < 0.8Msun are born, which could survive until today, we find that the previously reported obsevations already put a constraint on the theory that the number of survived low mass stars per minihalo has to be less than O(1).
