KELT-7b: A hot Jupiter transiting a bright V=8.54 rapidly rotating F-star

Allyson Bieryla, Karen Collins, Thomas G. Beatty +31

We report the discovery of KELT-7b, a transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of MJ, radius of RJ, and an orbital period of $2.7347749 \pm 0.000…

How realistic UV spectra and X-rays suppress the abundance of direct collapse black holes

M. A. Latif, S. Bovino, T. Grassi +2

Observations of high redshift quasars at indicate that they harbor supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of a billion solar masses. The direct collapse scenario has emerged as the…

Effects of turbulence and rotation on protostar formation as a precursor to seed black holes

C. Van Borm, S. Bovino, M. A. Latif +3

Context. The seeds of the first supermassive black holes may have resulted from the direct collapse of hot primordial gas in K haloes, forming a supermassive or quas…

Formation of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars in the presence of far ultraviolet radiation

S. Bovino, T. Grassi, D. R. G. Schleicher +1

Recent discoveries of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars like SMSS J031300.36-670839.3 provide increasing observational insights into the formation conditions of the first second-gen…

The formation of massive primordial stars in the presence of moderate UV backgrounds

M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, S. Bovino +2

Radiative feedback from populations II stars played a vital role in early structure formation. Particularly, photons below the Lyman limit can escape the star forming regions and p…

A UV flux constraint on the formation of direct collapse black holes

M. A. Latif, S. Bovino, C. Van Borm +3

The ability of metal free gas to cool by molecular hydrogen in primordial halos is strongly associated with the strength of ultraviolet (UV) flux produced by the stellar population…
