Title: Local and Global Radiative Feedback in Pop III Star Formation Author(s): Brian O'Shea Abstract: I will discuss recent work done by myself and collaborators on understanding the radiative processes that are important during Population III star formation on large scales. Specifically, I will talk about the effect of the Lyman-Werner background on the early stages of primordial protostellar cloud formation, and the effect that both photodissociating and ionizing radiation from nearby stars has on the formation of protostellar clouds. These effects are crucial to understanding Pop III star formation, and to building the first observable galaxies.
