On the Detection of Supermassive Primordial Stars
Marco Surace, Daniel J. Whalen, Tilman Hartwig +6
The collapse of supermassive primordial stars in hot, atomically-cooled halos may have given birth to the first quasars at 15 - 20. Recent numerical simulations of these r…

On the Evolution of Supermassive Primordial Stars in Cosmological Flows
Tyrone E. Woods, Samuel Patrick, Jacob S. Elford +2
Primordial supermassive stars (SMSs) formed in atomic-cooling halos at z ~ 15 - 20 are leading candidates for the seeds of the first quasars. Past numerical studies of the evolutio…

On the Formation and Interaction of Multiple Supermassive Stars in Cosmological Flows
Tyrone E. Woods, Samuel Patrick, Daniel J. Whalen +1
Supermassive primordial stars with masses exceeding that form in atomically cooled halos are the leading candidates for the origin of high-redshift quasars wi…
