Heavy Black Hole Seed Formation in High-z Atomic Cooling Halos
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Simon C. O. Glover +3
Halos with masses in excess of the atomic limit are believed to be ideal environments in which to form heavy black hole seeds with masses above 10^3 Msun. In cases where the H_2 fr…
NEATH II: NH as a tracer of imminent star formation in quiescent high-density gas
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, S. C. O. Glover +4
Star formation activity in molecular clouds is often found to be correlated with the amount of material above a column density threshold of . Attempt…
Population III star formation: multiple gas phases prevent the use of an equation of state at high densities
Lewis R. Prole, Paul C. Clark, Felix D. Priestley +2
Advanced primordial chemistry networks have been developed to model the collapse of metal-free baryonic gas within the gravitational well of dark matter (DM) halos and its subseque…
Non-Equilibrium Abundances Treated Holistically (NEATH): the molecular composition of star-forming clouds
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, S. C. O. Glover +4
Much of what we know about molecular clouds, and by extension star formation, comes from molecular line observations. Interpreting these correctly requires knowledge of the underly…
From dark matter halos to pre-stellar cores: High resolution follow-up of cosmological Lyman-Werner simulations
Lewis R. Prole, Anna T. P. Schauer, Paul C. Clark +3
Molecular hydrogen allows cooling in primordial gas, facilitating its collapse into Population III stars within primordial halos. Lyman-Werner (LW) radiation from these stars can e…
