HKU astrophysicists discover a novel method for hunting the first stars - EurekAlert
A recent study led by the research group of Professor Jane Lixin DAI of the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has discovered a novel method for detecting the first-generations stars, known as Population III (Pop III) stars, which have never been directly detected. The research has been widely acknowledged by the international astronomy community with a highlight from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which operates several NASA telescopes. These potential discoveries about Pop III stars hold the promise of unlocking the secrets of the universe's origin and providing a deeper understanding of the remarkable journey from the primordial cosmos to the world we inhabit today. Their findings have recently been published in <em>The Astrophysical Journal Letters</em>.
