Abstract

In cold dark matter cosmological models, the first stars to form are believed to do so within small protogalaxies. We study the influence of low levels of metal enrichment on the cooling and collapse of ionized gas in these protogalactic halos using three-dimensional, smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations.
