The influence of magnetic fields on the thermodynamics of primordial star formation
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Daniele Galli, Simon C. O. Glover +4
We explore the effects of magnetic energy dissipation on the formation of the first stars. For this purpose, we follow the evolution of primordial chemistry in the presence of magn…
The prospects of finding the first quasars in the universe
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Marco Spaans, Ralf S. Klessen
We study the prospects of finding the first quasars in the universe with ALMA and JWST. For this purpose, we derive a model for the high-redshift black hole population based on obs…
Cosmic constraints rule out s-wave annihilation of light dark matter
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Simon C. O. Glover, Robi Banerjee +1
Light dark matter annihilating into electron-positron pairs emits a significant amount of internal bremsstrahlung that may contribute to the cosmic gamma-ray background. The amount…
Dark stars: Implications and constraints from cosmic reionization and extragalactic background radiation
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Robi Banerjee, Ralf S. Klessen
Dark stars powered by dark matter annihilation have been proposed as the first luminous sources in the universe. These stars are believed to form in the central dark matter cusp of…
Reionization - A probe for the stellar population and the physics of the early universe
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Robi Banerjee, Ralf S. Klessen
We calculate the reionization history for different models of the stellar population and explore the effects of primordial magnetic fields, dark matter decay and dark matter annihi…
