The first stars (Population III)
Form in halos of Mh106Msun at z20 (Tvir< 104K)
First Stars primordial chemical composition (BBN: no C,N,O -- A > 7)
Weak cooling: H2 vs CO big massesNo fragmentation, one star per halo Live fast, die young (30-300Msun go SNe)Hot: first engines for IGM Reionization(possibly) seed BH, correlated to quasars
As of now, we have (very likely) not seen one yet

Powering the structure (with DM)
Energy production

Energy repartition for WIMP annihilation:

1/3 neutrinos (lost)

What happens, then?

Scattering and captureHalo WIMPs (originally outside
the star) are captured
by scattering off the gas of the starby scattering off the gas of the star
Captured WIMPs accumulate inside the star, thermalizing
(needs some time)
“sinking” to the center(most of annihilations is there)
![Page 9: Two phases of WIMP dark matter annihilation in the First Stars](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814740550346895db47ce1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scattering: some more Capture rate depends on stellar characteristics
And environemt (continuously capturing halo WIMPs)!
Dark Matter annihilation inside first stars can overpower nuclear
Needs continous replenishment!!!!
Scott, Fairbairn & Edsjo 08 also excellent reviewDM in star can power only 10 yr!

So what, once they become “DM burner” (/Dark Stars)?
They don’t “need” to burn nuclear

First studies on “Dark Stars” & Reionization;

Conclusions
First phase of DM annihilation acts in proto-stellar phase, very likely transient. Yet to be explored in detail
(depends mostly on <sv>)
Capture phase at ZAMS or slightly earlier, potentially everlasting
(strongly depends on SD -which is good-)
Both phases are unlikely to be observed directly *but*
studies on Reionization, 21cm, chemical evolution may help in the future…

It is a field in its infancy!
Give us some more time, and stay tuned!
