CRITICAL METALLICITY FOR POPULATION II STARS
We present simple arguments about metallicity of transition from first stellar generation (population III) to the second one. We consider the efficiency of fragmentation in gas induced by thermal instability in cold gas layers and filaments (T < 104 K), and in the shells formed by supernovae expl...
