Galaxy Formation with BECDM -- II. Cosmic Filaments and First Galaxies
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +11
Bose-Einstein Condensate Dark Matter (BECDM; also known as Fuzzy Dark Matter) is motivated by fundamental physics and has recently received significant attention as a serious alter…
First star-forming structures in fuzzy cosmic filaments
Philip Mocz, Anastasia Fialkov, Mark Vogelsberger +10
In hierarchical models of structure formation, the first galaxies form in low-mass dark matter potential wells, probing the behavior of dark matter on kiloparsec (kpc) scales. Even…
Assembly of supermassive black hole seeds
Fernando Becerra, Federico Marinacci, Volker Bromm +1
We present a suite of six fully cosmological, three-dimensional simulations of the collapse of an atomic cooling halo in the early Universe. We use the moving-mesh code arepo with…
On the Schrodinger-Poisson--Vlasov-Poisson correspondence
Philip Mocz, Lachlan Lancaster, Anastasia Fialkov +2
The Schrödinger-Poisson equations describe the behavior of a superfluid Bose-Einstein condensate under self-gravity with a 3D wave function. As , being the boson…
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…
Opacity limit for supermassive protostars
Fernando Becerra, Federico Marinacci, Kohei Inayoshi +2
We present a model for the evolution of supermassive protostars from their formation at until their growth to $M_\star \simeq 10^5\,\text{M}_\o…
Unveiling the role of galactic rotation on star formation
José Utreras, Fernando Becerra, Andrés Escala
We study the star formation process at galactic scales and the role of rotation through numerical simulations of spiral and starburst galaxies using the adaptive mesh refinement co…
Formation of massive protostars in atomic cooling haloes
Fernando Becerra, Thomas H. Greif, Volker Springel +1
We present the highest-resolution three-dimensional simulation to date of the collapse of an atomic cooling halo in the early Universe. We use the moving-mesh code arepo with the p…
The Interstellar Medium and Star Formation in Local Galaxies: Variations of the Star Formation Law in Simulations
Fernando Becerra, Andres Escala
We use the Adaptive Mesh Refinement code Enzo to model the interstellar medium in isolated local disk galaxies. The simulation includes a treatment for star formation and stellar f…
Gravitational Fragmentation in Galaxy Mergers: A Stability Criteria
Andres Escala, Fernando Becerra, Luciano del Valle +1
We study the gravitational stability of gaseous streams in the complex environment of a galaxy merger, because mergers are known to be places of ongoing massive cluster formation a…
