Purpose We estimate the luminosities of lines, which can be characteristics of the first star formation process, and evaluate the detectability of lines. The luminosities of lines for the runaway collapse phase Ripamonti et al (2002) and Kamaya & Silk (2002) However the luminosities of lines for the main accretion phase haven’t been estimated. protostellar cloudprotostar main sequence star main accretion phase we calculate them for both phase. runaway collapse phase 1

Initial Conditions The physical condition of fragments (protopstellar clouds) The contraction and fragmentation of primordial, metal-free gas clouds is investigated by some authors.

Summary & Discussion ・ We estimate the line luminosities from the first-generation star formation process. ・ the luminosities of both rovibrational lines and rotational lines become maximum value at the main accretion phase. ・ For the runaway collapse phase, the strongest lines are rotational lines. For the main accretion phase, rovibrational lines overwhelm them. ・ For the peak, rovibratinal lines are stronger than rotational lines. rotational lines ----- low density region such as envelope of the protostellar clouds rovibrational lines ----- high density region such as final stage of star formation process the strong evidence rovibrational lines the strong evidence of the first-generation star formation For observation of the first-generation star, rovibrational lines are important. 14

@ high z, detecting line emission by SPICA is highly improbable. @ low z, such as, detecting it from Pop III stars by SPICA is maybe possible. Galactic scalelow metallicity Formation of Galactic scale with such low metallicity is maybe excluded in the context of standard cosmology (e.g., Scannapieco,Schneider,& Ferrara 2003). Although, it is necessary to investigate how the mixing of metals occur. If If sources @, SPICA can observe forming first-generation stars. To emit mainly in lines, the metallicity in the pregalactic clouds (Omukai 2000). To exist sources is difficult situation at early universe.
