Hawking Radiation from non-evaporating primordial black holes cannot enable the formation of direct collapse black holes

Jonathan Regan, Marios Kalomenopoulos, Kelly Kosmo O'Neil

The formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe is a subject of significant debate. In this study, we examine whether non-evaporating primordial black holes…

Halo mass functions at high redshift

Hannah O'Brennan, John A. Regan, Chris Power +3

Recent JWST observations of very early galaxies, at , have led to claims that tension exists between the sizes and luminosities of high-redshift galaxies and wha…
