First Stars IV from Hayashi to the Future

The First Stars IV meeting was aimed at discussing star formation through cosmic time and the impacts of first stars on galaxy formation, first explosions, cosmic reionization, and formation of massive black holes. This meeting was held partially as a memorial conference for Professor Hayashi (1920-2010), in honor of his invaluable contributions to the study of star formation and cosmology.
