Accretion onto Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Dense Protogalactic Clouds
Milos Milosavljevic, Sean M. Couch, Volker Bromm
We present the first results from two-dimensional simulations of radiatively-efficient accretion of metal-free gas onto intermediate-mass black holes. We fix the shape of the spect…
The minimum stellar metallicity observable in the Galaxy
Anna Frebel, Jarrett L. Johnson, Volker Bromm
The first stars fundamentally transformed the early Universe through their production of energetic radiation and the first heavy chemical elements. The impact on cosmic evolution s…
Open questions in the study of population III star formation
S. C. O. Glover, P. C. Clark, T. H. Greif +4
The first stars were key drivers of early cosmic evolution. We review the main physical elements of the current consensus view, positing that the first stars were predominantly ver…
The formation of the first galaxies and the transition to low-mass star formation
Thomas H. Greif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Jarrett L. Johnson +6
The formation of the first galaxies at redshifts z ~ 10-15 signaled the transition from the simple initial state of the universe to one of ever increasing complexity. We here revie…
Chemical mixing in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations
Thomas H. Greif, Simon C. O. Glover, Volker Bromm +1
We introduce a simple and efficient algorithm for diffusion in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations and apply it to the problem of chemical mixing. Based on the concep…
The Origins and the Early Evolution of Quasars and Supermassive Black Holes
S. G. Djorgovski, M. Volonteri, V. Springel +2
The relationship between galaxies and supermassive black holes (SMBH) found in their cores plays a key role in the formation and evolution of both of these major constituents of th…
