Average density (ρ ⋆) of Pop III stars with Z = 10−5 (red solid line) and Z = 10−9 (red dashed line) in the mass range of 30–300M ⊙ compared to Pop I stars (black solid line) in the mass range of 0.1–300M ⊙. All stars are in their main-sequence stages. Pop III stars typically have ρ ⋆ ∼ 0.01–1 ρ ⊙ and those with lower metallicities or lower masses are denser. The stellar density of 1ρ ⊙, 0.1ρ ⊙, and 0.01ρ ⊙ are marked with green dotted lines.
