Abstract
Pair-instability superno vae (PISNe) hav e long been predicted to be the final fates of near-zero-metallicity v ery massiv e stars ( Z < Z ⊙/ 3, M ZAMS ≳ 140 M ⊙). Ho we ver, no definite PISN has been observed to date, leaving theoretical modelling validation open. To investigate the observability of these e xplosiv e transients, we combine detailed stellar evolution models for PISNe formation, computed from the binary population and spectral synthesis code suite, BPASS , with the star formation history of all individual computational elements in the Illustris-TNG simulation. This allows us to compute comic PISN rates and predict their host galaxy properties. Of particular importance is that..
