Impact of gas spin and Lyman-Werner flux on black hole seed formation in cosmological simulations: implications for direct collapse
Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +5
Direct collapse black holes~(BH) are promising candidates for producing massive quasars, but their formation requires fine-tuned conditions. In this work, we use cosmo…

Impact of gas based seeding on supermassive black hole populations at
Aklant K. Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +6
Deciphering the formation of supermassive black holes~(SMBHs) is a key science goal for upcoming observational facilities. In most theoretical channels proposed so far, the seed fo…
