Dust-cooling--induced Fragmentation of Low-metallicity Clouds
  Dynamical collapse and fragmentation of low-metallicity cloud cores is studied using three-dimensional hydrodynamical calculations, with particular attention devoted whether the cores fragment in the dust-cooling phase or not. The cores become elongated in this phase, being unstable to non-spherical perturbation due to the sudden temperature decrease. In the metallicity range of 10^{-6}-10^{-5}Z_sun, cores with an initial axis ratio >2 reach a critical value of the axis ratio (>30) and fragment into multiple small clumps. This provides a possible mechanism to produce low-mass stars in ultra-metal-poor environments.
