Magnetic Field Amplification in Young Galaxies
Jennifer Schober, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Ralf S. Klessen
The Universe at present is highly magnetized, with fields of the order of a few 10^-5 G and coherence lengths larger than 10 kpc in typical galaxies like the Milky Way. We propose…
Impact of baryonic streaming velocities on the formation of supermassive black holes via direct collapse
M. A. Latif, J. C. Niemeyer, D. R. G. Schleicher
Baryonic streaming motions produced prior to the epoch of recombination became supersonic during the cosmic dark ages. Various studies suggest that such streaming velocities change…
Supernova explosions in magnetized, primordial dark matter halos
D. Seifried, R. Banerjee, D. Schleicher
The first supernova explosions are potentially relevant sources for the production of the first large-scale magnetic fields. For this reason we present a set of high resolution sim…
KROME - a package to embed chemistry in astrophysical simulations
T. Grassi, S. Bovino, D. R. G. Schleicher +4
Chemistry plays a key role in many astrophysical situations regulating the cooling and the thermal properties of the gas, which are relevant during gravitational collapse, the evol…
Magnetic fields during the formation of supermassive black holes
M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, W. Schmidt
Observations of quasars at report the existence of a billion solar mass black holes. Comprehending their formation in such a short time scale is a matter of ongoing rese…
Star formation and accretion in the circumnuclear disks of active galaxies
Stephanie Wutschik, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Thomas S. Palmer
We explore the evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBH) centered in a circumnuclear disk (CND) as a function of the mass supply from the host galaxy and considering different s…
The characteristic black hole mass resulting from direct collapse in the early universe
M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, W. Schmidt +1
Black holes of a billion solar masses are observed in the infant universe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. The direct collapse of protogalactic gas clouds in primord…
A new interpretation of the far-infrared - radio correlation and the expected breakdown at high redshift
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Rainer Beck
(Abrigded) Observations of galaxies up to z 2 show a tight correlation between far-infrared and radio continuum emission. We explain the far-infrared - radio continuum correlation…
Primordial star formation: relative impact of H2 three-body rates and initial conditions
S. Bovino, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. Grassi
Population III stars are the first stars in the Universe to form at z=20-30 out of a pure hydrogen and helium gas in minihalos of 10^5-10^6 M . Cooling and fragmentation is…
The formation of massive Pop III stars in the presence of turbulence
M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, W. Schmidt +1
Population III stars forming in the infant universe at z=30 heralded the end of the cosmic dark ages. They are presumed to be assembled in so-called minihaloes with virial temperat…
Massive black hole factories: Supermassive and quasi-star formation in primordial halos
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Francesco Palla, Andrea Ferrara +2
Supermassive stars and quasi-stars (massive stars with a central black hole) are both considered as potential progenitors for the formation of supermassive black holes. They are ex…
Impact of an accurate modeling of primordial chemistry in high resolution studies
S. Bovino, T. Grassi, M. A. Latif +1
The formation of the first stars in the Universe is regulated by a sensitive interplay of chemistry and cooling with the dynamics of a self-gravitating system. As the outcome of th…
Black hole formation in the early universe
M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, W. Schmidt +1
Supermassive black holes with up to a dwell in the centers of present-day galaxies, and their presence has been confirmed at z 6. Their formation at s…
Magnetic field amplification by the small-scale dynamo in the early Universe
Jacques M. Wagstaff, Robi Banerjee, Dominik Schleicher +1
In this paper we show that the Universe is already strongly magnetized at very early epochs during cosmic evolution. Our calculations are based on the efficient amplification of we…
The small-scale dynamo: Breaking universality at high Mach numbers
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Jennifer Schober, Christoph Federrath +2
(Abridged) The small-scale dynamo may play a substantial role in magnetizing the Universe under a large range of conditions, including subsonic turbulence at low Mach numbers, high…
