# Is there any chance we could eventually observe the supernova of the first (Population III) stars

In an answer to my previous question about the first stars it was stated they probably formed at Z=20 to Z=60 and may have had a mass between tens to 100s to 1000s of times the mass of the Sun.

Given that, what would the dominant wavelength of the light emitted by these supernova and approximately how bright would they be in the reference frame of the supernova?

What would the wavelength and brightness of those supernova be if we observed them today?

Is there any chance that a current telescope, a planned telescope or a reasonably potentially possible future telescope could detect these supernova?

For this telescope, would the field of view be so narrow that we would be unlikely to ever see one of those supernova in a reasonable time?

I'm not an observer, so I'm not sure about what colours and magnitudes are usually associated with supernova, but I can try. With a bit of Googling, Daniel Kasen's page suggests that they're relatively bright in most bands. Off the top of my head, I think we see them most in optical, but that might just be a selection effect. I think, until now, we've been finding Type Ia supernova up to about z=1.5. That boundary is being pushed, but I'm not sure how. (Possibly improved IR spectroscopy from a Hubble servicing?) The overall brightness of supernovae is of the order of 10$^{51}$ ergs. Type Ia's have typical absolute visual magnitude -19.3, according to Wiki.
