This project aims to identify and study second-generation stars to understand the characteristics of the first stars in the universe. By analyzing chemical signatures in ancient stars, it seeks to enhance our knowledge of galaxy formation and the evolution of the Milky Way.
Understanding the nature of the first stars is a fundamental problem in Cosmology and Galaxy Formation.
Numerical simulations suggest that primordial stars were more massive that present-day stars, and so they rapidly disappeared.
Heavy elements newly produced by these stars enriched the surrounding gas, out of which long-lived, low-mass stars formed.
These "second-generation" stars survive until present-day, preserving in their photospheres the chemical imprint of the first stars.
