Global instability by runaway collisions in nuclear stellar clusters: Numerical tests of a route for massive black hole formation
M. C. Vergara, A. Escala, D. R. G. Schleicher +1
The centres of galaxies host nuclear stellar clusters, supermassive black holes, or both. The origin of this dichotomy is still a mystery. Nuclear stellar clusters are the densest…
Origin of supermassive black holes in massive metal-poor protoclusters
D. R. G. Schleicher, B. Reinoso, M. Latif +6
While large numbers of supermassive black holes have been detected at z>6, their origin is still essentially unclear. Numerical simulations have shown that the conditions for the c…
Stellar collisions in flattened and rotating Pop. III star clusters
M. Z. C. Vergara, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. C. N. Boekholt +4
Fragmentation often occurs in disk-like structures, both in the early Universe and in the context of present-day star formation. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are astrophysical…
Formation of massive black holes via collisions and accretion
D. R. G. Schleicher, M. A. Fellhauer, T. Boekholt +13
To explain the observed population of supermassive black holes at z~7, very massive seed black holes or, alternatively, super-Eddington scenarios are needed to reach final masses o…
