The first generation of stars (commonly known as population III) are expected to form in low-mass protogalaxies which molecular hydrogen is the dominant coolant. Radiation from these will rapidly build up an extragalactic ultraviolet (UV) background capable photodissociating H2, and it widely believed that this suppress further star formation systems. However, also produce X-ray background. This background, by increasing fractional ionization protogalactic gas, promotes H2 reduces...

The first star formation in the Universe is expected to take place within small protogalaxies, which gas cooled by molecular hydrogen. However, if massive stars form these they may suppress further photodissociating H2. We examine importance of this effect estimating time-scale on significant H2 destroyed. show that photodissociation least but becomes less so as protogalactic mass increases. also effects dense clumps protogalaxy. find while collapse will be inhibited low-density clumps,...

Large scale many-core systems are able to execute concurrently changing mixes of different parallel applications. Hybrid application mapping combines the strengths design-time exploration/analysis resource constellations for task-to-core mappings with flexibility choosing concrete at run time.

A type of shock which accelerates hyhdrogen molecules to a high velocity without dissociating is investigated. Such soft C-shocks are characterized by low Alfvén Mach numbers and streaming speeds the ions through neutrals. Therefore, in region speed, |$v_A$| can produce wide H2 line profiles.
