Abstract

We present a cosmological simulation in which the center of a collapsing primordial, metal-free cloud fragments into two pieces, likely leading to a binary Population III (Pop III) star system.We additionally discuss a set of cosmological simulations of Pop III star formation designed to constrain this mode of fragmentation.
