Abstract

I describe an analytic, timescale-based model for the formation of the first stars in the center of collapsing primordial gas clouds. Despite its simplicity, the model reproduces the stellar mass scale and its parameter dependences observed in state-of-the-art cosmological zoom-in simulations, while clarifying the essential underlying physics. The model provides an inexpensive tool for studying the influence of exotic dark matter on early star formation.
