Dr. Becky on a ‘potential’ find of POP III stars.

#1

Post by Gmetric »


Dr. Becky does a good job of explaining a peer reviewed paper about the potential find of a POP III star. It needs repeating and follow up work to confirm it, but it has potential. If it holds out it’s a big deal.

Cheers Arry.

That woman is indeed an excellent explainer.

The name Pop 3 makes sense to me since Pop 1 are the youngest, Pop 2 are older and Pop 3 are the oldest. A bit like people's ages!

If they have found actual Pop 3 stars then that's another piece to the theoretical model.
