Title: The Minimum Mass of the First Stars and the Anthropic Principle
(Submitted on 11 Dec 1996)
Abstract: The lower limit of the mass of the first stars suggested recently may imply the formation of massive stars of mass greater than 8 solar mass irrespective of the details of the initial mass function. The production of heavy metals from the first stars will ensure a requisite for the existence of life without the anthropic principle.
