Title: Can very massive stars avoid Pair-Instability Supernovae ? Presenter: Sylvia Ekstrom Abstract: Very massive primordial stars (140 Msol < M < 260 Msol) are supposed to end their lives as PISN. Such an event can be traced by a typical chemical signature in low metallicity stars, but at the present time, this signature is lacking in the extremely metal-poor stars we are able to observe. Does it mean that those very massive objects were not formed, contrarily to the primordial star formation scenarios ? Could it be possible that they avoided this tragical fate ?
