Massive Population III Galaxies Near a GN-z11 Analog: The Role of the Baryon-Dark Matter Streaming Velocity

Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan, Ryan Hazlett

Recently the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected Hebe, a Population III (Pop III) candidate located kpc in projection from the massive galaxy GN-z11. This…

Abundant Heavy Black Hole Seeds from Moderate Lyman-Werner Radiation

Ryan Hazlett, Eli Visbal, Greg L. Bryan +1

The existence of high-redshift quasars may indicate that massive black hole seeds formed via supermassive Population III stars in atomic-cooling halos with large gas inflow rates;…

Exploring the High-Redshift 21-cm Signal via Self-Consistent Simulations using Artificial Neural Network Emulation

Colton R. Feathers, Eli Visbal, Steven Murray +2

We present a novel, self-consistent, semi-numeric Cosmic Dawn (CD) simulation in which small-scale star formation (SF) is calibrated to the \emph{AEOS} and \emph{Renaissance} hydro…

From Primordial Stars to Early Galaxies: A Semi-Analytic Model Calibrated with Aeos and Renaissance

Ryan Hazlett, Jennifer Mead, Eli Visbal +6

We present an extension of our semi-analytic model that follows the formation of Population III stars and their metal-enriched descendants, incorporating dark matter halo merger tr…

Evaluating the Accuracy of Reionization Prescriptions in Semi-analytic Models of the First Stars and Galaxies

Thomas Behling, Ryan Hazlett, Mihir Kulkarni +1

Semi-analytic models are a valuable tool to study the first stars and galaxies. Their numerical efficiency makes it possible to survey broad regions of astrophysical parameter spac…

LAP1-B is the First Observed System Consistent with Theoretical Predictions for Population III Stars

Eli Visbal, Ryan Hazlett, Greg L. Bryan

Recently, Nakajima et al. (2025) presented James Webb Space Telescope observations of the Population III (Pop III) candidate LAP1-B, which is gravitationally lensed by gala…

A Framework to Calibrate a Semi-analytic Model of the First Stars and Galaxies to the Renaissance Simulations

Ryan Hazlett, Mihir Kulkarni, Eli Visbal +1

We present a method that calibrates a semi-analytic model to the Renaissance Simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations with high-redshift galaxy formation. Th…

A Global Semi-Analytic Model of the First Stars and Galaxies Including Dark Matter Halo Merger Histories

Colton R. Feathers, Mihir Kulkarni, Eli Visbal +1

We present a new self-consistent semi-analytic model of the first stars and galaxies to explore the high-redshift () Population III (PopIII) and metal-enriched star formati…
