Early Formation of Supermassive Black Holes via Dark Star Gravitational Instability
Katherine Freese, George M. Fuller, Sohan Ghodla +4
We show that dark stars, which are dark-matter-powered stars in the early universe, can grow by accretion to masses in the range $\mathscr{O}\left ({10}^4\right )-\mathscr{O}\left…
Supermassive Dark Stars and their remnants as a possible solution to three recent cosmic dawn puzzles
Cosmin Ilie, Jillian Paulin, Andreea Petric +1
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has begun to revolutionize our view of the Cosmos. The discovery of Blue Monsters (i.e., ultra-compact yet very bright high-z galaxies) and th…
Spectroscopic Supermassive Dark Star candidates
Cosmin Ilie, Sayed Shafaat Mahmud, Jillian Paulin +1
Dark Stars, i.e. early stars composed almost entirely of hydrogen and helium but powered by Dark Matter, could form in zero metallicity clouds located close to the center of high r…
UHZ1 and the other three most distant quasars observed: possible evidence for Supermassive Dark Stars
Cosmin Ilie, Katherine Freese, Andreea Petric +1
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently uncovered a new record-breaking quasar, UHZ1, at a redshift of . This discovery continues JWST's trend of confronting th…
