Rotating Supermassive Pop III Stars On The Main Sequence

Devesh Nandal, Gaël Buldgen, Daniel J. Whalen +3

The detection of billion-solar-mass supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years of cosmic history challenges conventional theories of black hole formation and g…

Abundant Water from Early Supernovae at Cosmic Dawn

Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif, Christopher Jessop

Primordial (or Pop III) supernovae were the first nucleosynthetic engines in the Universe, forging the heavy elements required for the later formation of planets and life. Water, i…

Planet Formation at Cosmic Dawn: Planetesimals in HO-Rich Disks Around Low-Mass Stars

Eduard I. Vorobyov, Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif +5

Primordial, or Pop III, supernovae (SNe) were the first, great nucleosynthetic engines in the Universe, forging the heavy elements required for the later formation of planets, and…

The Evolution of Accreting Population III Stars at 10-10 M/yr

Devesh Nandal, Lorenz Zwick, Daniel J. Whalen +3

The first stars formed over five orders of magnitude in mass by accretion in primordial dark matter halos. We study the evolution of massive, very massive and supermassive primordi…

Radio Emission From a 10.1 Black Hole in UHZ1

Daniel J. Whalen, Muhammad A. Latif, Mar Mezcua

The recent discovery of a 4 10 M black hole (BH) in UHZ1 at 10.3, just 450 Myr after the big bang, suggests that the seeds of the first quasars may hav…

The Evolution of Population III and Extremely Metal-Poor Binary Stars

Sung-Han Tsai, Ke-Jung Chen, Daniel Whalen +2

Numerical simulations have now shown that Population III (Pop III) stars can form in binaries and small clusters and that these stars can be in close proximity to each other. If so…
