Theoretical models predict the supernova explosions ending the lives of some of the first stars to have been extremely energetic Pair Instability Supernovae (PISNe). With energies approaching 1053 ergs, these supernovae are expected to be within the detection limits of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), allowing observational constraints to be placed on the properties of the first stars. We calculate the source density of PISNe using a semi-analytic model informed by cosmological simulations including molecular cooling and radiative feedback. The inclusion of feedback reduces the source density significantly, suggesting that a mosaic search strategy may be the best approach.
