The program QUID ULTRA? Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics is a series of monthly prestigious colloquia that will be 
running from early February till October 2022. This initiative has been funded by Sapienza University with the co-sponsorship of 
INAF/Astronomical Observatory of Rome and of the joint PhD program in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science of Sapienza, 
Tor Vergata University and INAF.

Looking forward to seeing you soon, 

Raffaella Schneider (on behalf of the SOC)

Title: Stars at the Extreme: First Stars, Spinstars and Supermassive stars

Abstract:
The presentation will focus on stars at some extreme either from the point of view of their mass (supermassive stars), rotation (spinstars) or initial composition 
(Pop III stars). The talk will begin by a general overview of the main challenges faced by the modeling of massive stars with a special focus on the 
transport processes in convective and radiative zones. Then the presentation will continue discussing recent results about the binary statistics of Pop III 
populations, the chemical and radiative feedback of Pop III stars, the evolution of very massive stars i.e. stars with masses between 150 and 300 solar 
masses at different metallicities addressing the question of the progenitor of Pair Instability supernovae and the limits of the mass domain for the 
black hole mass gap. Finally, new models for the formation of supermassive stars that are candidates as seeds for the formation of supermassive black holes 
at high redshift will be presented.
