The hunt for teh first supernovae : the source density and observability of pair instability supernovae from the first stars
Theoretical models predict that some of the first stars ended their lives as extremely energetic pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). With energies approaching 10⁵³ ergs, these supernovae are expected to be within the detection limits of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), allowing obser...
