- Summary:
- This conference explored the formation, life, and death of the earliest stars (also known as Population III stars) and their impact on subsequent structure formation and chemical evolution of the universe. First Stars III covered a wide range of observational topics, including star formation, stellar evolution, supernovae, and the search for primordial and metal-poor stars in the galactic halo.
