The first stars in the early Universe were formed about 400 million years after the big bang. Verification of the existence of these stars is important for our understanding of the evolution of the Universe[1]. It has been predicted that for Population-III stellar production yields, the abundances of odd-Z elements are remarkably deficient compared to their adjacent even-Z elements[2]. Astronomers are searching for long-lived, low mass stars with the unique nucleosynthetic pattern matching the predicted yields[3].
