Hyper-Eddington accretion flows onto massive black holes
Kohei Inayoshi, Zoltan Haiman, Jeremiah P. Ostriker
We study very-high rate spherically symmetric accretion flows onto a massive black hole (BH; 10^2 < M_BH < 10^6 Msun) embedded in a dense gas cloud with a low abundance of metals,…

Direct collapse black hole formation via high-velocity collisions of protogalaxies
Kohei Inayoshi, Eli Visbal, Kazumi Kashiyama
We propose high-velocity collisions of protogalaxies as a new pathway to form supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses of ~ 10^5 Msun at high redshift (z > 10). When protogalaxies hos…
