AEOS: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback by Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Alexander P. Ji, John H. Wise, Andrew Emerick, Eric P. Andersson, Anna Frebel, Benoit Côté

“…Most minihalos ( M _dm  ≳ 10 ^5 M _⊙ ) do not retain significant fractions of the yields produced within their virial radii until they have grown to halo masses of M _dm  ≳ 10 ^7 M _⊙ . The loss of metals to regions well beyond the virial radius delays the onset of enriched star formation and extends the period that Population III star formation can persist. …”
