Density-weighted projection plots of gas temperature, number density, and H₂ and H⁺ mass fractions 5000 yr since the formation of the first star. The projections are oriented along the L axis (angular momentum vector of the star-forming disk), zoomed in on the inner 0.01 pc around the center of mass (COM). The top row shows the z = 30 simulation and the bottom row shows the run at z = 6. White dots mark the projected positions of sink particles, which serve as proxies for Pop III stars.
