Finding Direct-Collapse Black Holes at Birth
Daniel J. Whalen, Marco Surace, Carla Bernhardt +4
Direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) are currently one of the leading contenders for the origins of the first quasars in the universe, over 300 of which have now been found at …
On the Detection of Supermassive Primordial Stars. II. Blue Supergiants
Marco Surace, Erik Zackrisson, Daniel J. Whalen +4
Supermassive primordial stars in hot, atomically-cooling haloes at 15 - 20 may have given birth to the first quasars in the universe. Most simulations of these rapidly acc…
On the Detection of Supermassive Primordial Stars
Marco Surace, Daniel J. Whalen, Tilman Hartwig +6
The collapse of supermassive primordial stars in hot, atomically-cooled halos may have given birth to the first quasars at 15 - 20. Recent numerical simulations of these r…
Titans of the Early Universe: The Prato Statement on the Origin of the First Supermassive Black Holes
Tyrone E. Woods, Bhaskar Agarwal, Volker Bromm +30
In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at z~7 has provided a striking challenge to our understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Un…
Radiation Hydrodynamical Simulations of the First Quasars
Joseph Smidt, Daniel J. Whalen, Jarrett L. Johnson +2
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are the central engines of luminous quasars and are found in most massive galaxies today. But the recent discoveries of ULAS J1120+0641, a $2 \time…
The stochastic background of gravitational waves due to the f-mode instability in neutron stars
Marco Surace, Kostas D. Kokkotas, Pantelis Pnigouras
This paper presents an estimate for the spectral properties of the stochastic background of gravitational waves emitted by a population of hot, young, rapidly rotating neutron star…
