    AbstractShow full text abstract about Understanding the formation and evolution of the first stars...»
    Understanding the formation and evolution of the first stars and
    galaxies represents one of the most exciting frontiers in astronomy.
    Since the universe was filled with hydrogen atoms at early times, the
    most promising method for observing the epoch of the first stars is
    using the prominent 21-cm spectral line of hydrogen. This rich era of
    early cosmic history should include several events caused by stellar
    ultra-violet radiation and X-rays from early black holes. Work in this
    field is growing rapidly in anticipation of the first 21-cm
    observations. We have focused on predicting previously-unexpected
    signatures of cosmic populations and on developing methods for a
    model-independent analysis of upcoming data.
