Title: The End of the First Stars Author(s): Alex Heger Abstract: I will give a review on how explosive deaths of primordial massive stars and how they evolve to that stage, as a function of initial mass, from the lowest mass stars that can make supernovae up to very high masses. I will present what kind of nucleosynthesis yields we can expect form such stars, and how this compares to observed abundances of ultra-metal poor stars. What kind of stars does nuceosynthesis tell us we need? Some attention will be give to pair-instability supernovae and to supermassive stars.
