The Supersonic Project: Early Star Formation with the Streaming Velocity
William Lake, Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz +7
At high redshifts (), the relative velocity between baryons and dark matter (the so-called streaming velocity) significantly affects star formation in low-mass objects.…
The Supersonic Project: Lighting up the faint end of the JWST UV luminosity function
Claire E. Williams, William Lake, Smadar Naoz +9
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is capable of probing extremely early eras of our Universe when the supersonic relative motions between dark matter and baryonic overdensities…
The Supersonic Project: Star Formation in Early Star Clusters without Dark Matter
William Lake, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci +7
The formation mechanism of globular clusters (GCs) has long been debated by astronomers. It was recently proposed that Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs), which formed in t…
The Supersonic Project: The eccentricity and rotational support of SIGOs and DM GHOSts
Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, William Lake +7
A supersonic relative velocity between dark matter (DM) and baryons (the stream velocity) at the time of recombination induces the formation of low mass objects with anomalous prop…
The Supersonic Project: The Early Evolutionary Path of SIGOs
William Lake, Smadar Naoz, Blakesley Burkhart +7
Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs) are a class of early Universe objects that have gained attention as a potential formation route for globular clusters. SIGOs have only re…
cooling and gravitational collapse of supersonically induced gas objects
Yurina Nakazato, Gen Chiaki, Naoki Yoshida +3
We study the formation and gravitational collapse of supersonically induced gas objects (SIGOs) in the early universe. We run cosmological hydrodynamics simulations of SIGOs, inclu…
The Supersonic Project: SIGOs, a Proposed Progenitor to Globular Clusters, and their Connections to Gravitational Wave Anisotropies
William Lake, Smadar Naoz, Yeou S. Chiou +4
Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs), are structures with little to no dark matter component predicted to exist in regions of the Universe with large relative velocities betw…
The Supersonic Project: To cool or not to cool Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs)?
Yeou S. Chiou, Smadar Naoz, Blakesley Burkhart +2
Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOs) primarily form in the early Universe, outside of dark matter halos due to the presence of a relative stream velocity between baryons and…
The Supersonic Project: Shining Light on SIGOs - a New Formation Channel for Globular Clusters
Yeou S. Chiou, Smadar Naoz, Blakesley Burkhart +2
Supersonically induced gas objects (SIGOs) with little to no dark matter component are predicted to exist in patches of the Universe with non-negligible relative velocity between b…
The Supersonic Project: rotational effects of supersonic motions on the first structures in the Universe
Yeou S. Chiou, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci +1
We introduce the "Supersonic Project," aimed at investigating the effects of the supersonic relative velocity between dark matter (DM) and baryons at high redshift using a combinat…
