SEEDZ: Rapid Galaxy Assembly as a Pathway to Supermassive Stars, Dense Stellar Environments and Massive Black Hole Seeds
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +14
We investigate the assembly history of early galaxies in the SEEDZ hydrodynamic simulations, to investigate the high inflow rates believed to be required for the formation of super…
Black Hole Feedback, Galaxy Quenching and Outflows at Cosmic Dawn: Analysis of the SEEDZ Simulations
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we analyse the growth and feedback effects of massive black holes (MBHs) in the SEEDZ simulations. The most massive black holes grow to masses of M by $z=…
The Impact of Radiation Environment on the Evolution and Fragmentation of Protostellar Discs
Matt T. Cusack, Paul C. Clark, Ken Rice +5
We present high-resolution zoom-in simulations of molecular clouds exposed to an interstellar radiation field and cosmic ray ionisation rate up to 1000 times stronger than that of…
The Impact of Fuzzy Dark Matter Dynamics on the Accumulation and Fragmentation of Primordial Gas
Alexander Tocher, Anastasia Fialkov, Simon May +4
Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), particularly in the eV mass regime is frequently used to characterize wave-like interference effects. It exhibits macroscopic wave properties, w…
The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…
