Discrete diffusion Lyman-alpha radiative transfer
Aaron Smith, Benny T. -H. Tsang, Volker Bromm +1
Due to its accuracy and generality, Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) has emerged as the prevalent method for Ly radiative transfer in arbitrary geometries. The standard MCR…
Radiative effects during the assembly of direct collapse black holes
Aaron Smith, Fernando Becerra, Volker Bromm +1
We perform a post-processing radiative feedback analysis on a 3D ab initio cosmological simulation of an atomic cooling halo under the direct collapse black hole (DCBH) scenario. W…
The first supermassive black holes
Aaron Smith, Volker Bromm, Abraham Loeb
We briefly review the historical development of the ideas regarding the first supermassive black hole seeds, the physics of their formation and radiative feedback, recent theoretic…
