The Formation of Supermassive Black Holes from Population III.1 Seeds. I. Cosmic Formation Histories and Clustering Properties

Nilanjan Banik, Jonathan C. Tan, Pierluigi Monaco

We calculate cosmic distributions in space and time of the formation sites of the first, "Pop III.1" stars, exploring a model in which these are the progenitors of all supermassive…

Galactoseismology and the Local Density of Dark Matter

Nilanjan Banik, Lawrence M. Widrow, Scott Dodelson

We model vertical breathing mode perturbations in the Milky Way's stellar disc and study their effects on estimates of the local dark matter density, surface density, and vertical…
