Formation of SMBH seeds in Pop III star clusters through collisions : the importance of mass loss
P. J. Alister Seguel, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. C. N. Boekholt +2
Runaway collisions in dense clusters may lead to the formation of supermassive black hole (SMBH) seeds, and this process can be further enhanced by accretion, as recent models of S…
The 3D structure of CO depletion in high-mass prestellar regions
S. Bovino, S. Ferrada-Chamorro, A. Lupi +3
Disentangling the different stages of the star-formation process, in particular in the high-mass regime, is a challenge in astrophysics. Chemical clocks could help alleviating this…
Resolving accretion flows in nearby active galactic nuclei with the Event Horizon Telescope
Bidisha Bandyopadhyay, Fu-Guo Xie, Neil M. Nagar +5
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), now with its first ever image of the photon ring around the supermassive black hole of M87, provides a unique opportunity to probe the physics of…
Magneto-hydrodynamical origin of eclipsing time variations in post-common-envelope binaries for solar mass secondaries
Felipe H. Navarrete, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Petri J. Käpylä +3
Eclipsing time variations have been observed for a wide range of binary systems, including post-common-envelope binaries. A frequently proposed explanation, apart from the possibil…
The role of gas fragmentation during the formation of supermassive black holes
Matías Suazo, Joaquín Prieto, Andrés Escala +1
We have performed cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to study the effect of fragmentation on the SMBH seed mass in the direct collapse formation scenario. We considered differen…
Intermittent fragmentation and statistical variations during gas collapse in magnetised atomic cooling haloes
Philipp Grete, Muhammad A. Latif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher +1
Observations reveal the presence of supermassive black holes (SMBH) as early as ~700 million years after the Big Bang. Their formation path is still subject to current debate. We e…
