Accretion onto the First Stellar Mass Black Holes
Marcelo A. Alvarez, John H. Wise, Tom Abel
The first stars in the universe, forming at redshifts z>15 in minihalos with masses of order 10^6 Msun, may leave behind black holes as their remnants. These objects could conceiva…
Ionizing Photon Escape Fractions from High Redshift Dwarf Galaxies
John H. Wise, Renyue Cen
It has been argued that low-luminosity dwarf galaxies are the dominant source of ionizing radiation during cosmological reionization. The fraction of ionizing radiation that escape…
Resolving the Formation of Protogalaxies
John H. Wise
Cosmic structure originated from minute density perturbations in an almost homogeneous universe. The first stars are believed to be very massive and luminous, providing the first i…
How Very Massive Metal Free Stars Start Cosmological Reionization
John H. Wise, Tom Abel
(Abridged) Using ab initio cosmological Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement radiation hydrodynamical calculations, we discuss how very massive stars start the process of cosmological…
Resolving the Formation of Protogalaxies. III. Feedback from the First Stars
John H. Wise, Tom Abel
The first stars form in dark matter halos of masses ~10^6 M_sun as suggested by an increasing number of numerical simulations. Radiation feedback from these stars expels most of th…
Resolving the Formation of Protogalaxies. II. Central Gravitational Collapse
John H. Wise, Matthew J. Turk, Tom Abel
Numerous cosmological hydrodynamic studies have addressed the formation of galaxies. Here we choose to study the first stages of galaxy formation, including non-equilibrium atomic…
Suppression of H_2 Cooling in the Ultraviolet Background
John H. Wise, Tom Abel
The first luminous objects in the concordance cosmology form by molecular hydrogen cooling in dark matter dominated halos of masses ~10^6 M_sun. We use Eulerian adaptive mesh refin…
Resolving the Formation of Protogalaxies. I. Virialization
John H. Wise, Tom Abel
(Abridged) Galaxies form in hierarchically assembling dark matter halos. With cosmological three dimensional adaptive mesh refinement simulations, we explore in detail the virializ…
The HII Region of a Primordial Star
Tom Abel, John H. Wise, Greg L. Bryan
The concordance model of cosmology and structure formation predicts the formation of isolated very massive stars at high redshifts in dark matter dominated halos of 10^5 to 10^6 Ms…
The Number of Supernovae from Primordial Stars in the Universe
John H. Wise, Tom Abel
Recent simulations of the formation of the first luminous objects in the universe predict isolated very massive stars to form in dark matter halos with virial temperatures large en…
Variability of Narrow, Associated Absorption Lines in Moderate- and Low-Redshift Quasars
J. H. Wise, M. Eracleous, J. C. Charlton +1
We present the results of a search for variability in the equivalent widths (EWs) of narrow, associated (Delta v < 5,000 km/s) absorption lines found in the UV spectra of z < 1.5 q…
Tomographic Separation of Composite Spectra. IX. The Massive Close Binary HD 115071
L. R. Penny, D. R. Gies, J. H. Wise +2
We present the first orbital elements for the massive close binary, HD 115071, a double-lined spectroscopic binary in a circular orbit with a period of 2.73135 +/- 0.00003 days. Th…
