The most metal poor stars
read the original abstract
The most metal-poor stars found in the Galaxy and in nearby galaxies are witnesses of the early evolution of the Universe. In a general picture in which we expect the metallicity to increase monotonically with time, as a result of the metal production in stars, we also expect the most metal-poor stars to be the most primitive objects accessible to our observations. The abundance ratios in these stars provide us important information on the first generations of stars that synthesised the nuclei that we observe in these stars. Because they are so primitive the modelling of their chemical inventory can be often satisfactorily achieved by assuming that all the metals were produced in a single supernova, or just a few. This is simpler than modelling the full chemical evolution, using different sources, that is necessary at higher metallicity. The price to pay for this relative ease of interpretation is that these stars are extremely rare and require specifically tailored observational strategies in order to assemble statistically significant samples of stars. In this review we try to summarise the main observational results that have been obtained in the last ten years.

Searching for Population III stars with line intensity mapping cross-correlations
Adding Pop III stars to the oLIMpus analytical framework shows that only next-generation instruments can detect the H-alpha/HeII cross-correlation and constrain the first stars' IMF.

TOPoS VII. Age-metallicity relation in the Galactic halo and assembly of the Milky Way
Ages from sub-giant stars in the TOPoS sample reveal a multi-modal age-metallicity relation in the Galactic halo with peaks linked to halo, thick-disc and thin-disc components, indicating mergers were important until ...

Quantifying Element Importance for Mass Recovery from Population III Supernova Yield Fits
In mock yield-fitting experiments, C, N, Na, and K most strongly control recovery of Population III supernova progenitor masses, while the full measurable element set recovers mass to near 1% in-sample.
