Baade observed that bluer stars were strongly associated with the spiral arms, and yellow stars dominated near the central galactic bulge and within globular star clusters. [2] Two main divisions were defined as Population I star and population II , with another newer, hypothetical division called population III added in 1978.
HE 1327-2326, discovered in 2005 by Anna Frebel and collaborators, [2] was the star with the lowest known iron abundance until SMSS J031300.36−670839.3 was discovered. [5] The star is a member of Population II stars , with a solar-standardised iron to hydrogen index [Fe/H], or metallicity , of −5.4±0.2.
It had been thought that NGC 2808, like typical globular clusters, contains only one generation of stars formed simultaneously from the same material. In 2007, a team of astronomers led by Giampaolo Piotto of the University of Padua in Italy investigated Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 2808 taken in 2005 and 2006 with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys.

The first generation of stars, known as Population III stars, formed within a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. [58] These stars were the first source of visible light in the universe after recombination. Structures may have begun to emerge from around 150 million years, and early galaxies emerged from around 180 to 700 million years.

This means that SDSS J0018−0939 most likely preserved the elemental abundance ratios produced by a first-generation very-massive star. [7] First generation stars are expected to self-regulate their growth by radiative feedback in the formation process, and to achieve masses typically tens of times that of the Sun. A fraction of stars might ...
