Effects of dark matter in star formation
  The standard model for the formation of structure assumes that there existed
small fluctuations in the early universe that grew due to gravitational
instability. The origins of these fluctuations are as yet unclear. In this work
we propose the role of dark matter in providing the seed for star formation in
the early universe. Very recent observations also support the role of dark
matter in the formation of these first stars. With this we set observable
constraints on luminosities, temperatures, and lifetimes of these early stars
with an admixture of dark matter.
