Rapid Growth of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes through Disk-induced Stellar Disruptions
Mengye Wang, Yiqiu Ma, Qingwen Wu +3
Dense nuclear star clusters provide unique environments for studying the dynamical interactions between stars and massive black holes. When an accretion disk is present, dissipativ…
Black hole populations and hierarchical growth across the AGN parameter space
Maria Paola Vaccaro, Michela Mapelli, Alessandro Alberto Trani +1
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been proposed as efficient environments for the formation of binary black holes (BBHs). We present an updated semi-analytical framework for BBH f…
Towards A Universal Analytical Model of Population III Star Formation: A Bridge Between Cosmological Scales and Protostars
James Gurian, Boyuan Liu, Donghui Jeong +4
We construct an analytical model of Population III star formation that connects the cosmological radiation background to sub-AU protostellar disk fragmentation, a dynamic range ina…
Direct N-body simulations of rotating and extremely massive Population III star clusters
Kai Wu, Ataru Tanikawa, Francesco Flammini Dotti +6
Aims. We present eight direct N-body simulations with NBODY6++GPU of extremely massive, initially rotating Population III star clusters with 1.01 x 10^5 stars. Methods. Our models…
The Cliff: A Metal-Poor Little Red Dot Hosting an Overmassive Black Hole at
Lucy R. Ivey, Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino +18
JWST has revealed a large population of massive black holes (BHs) in the early Universe with unusual properties which mark them as distinct from low-redshift active galactic nuclei…
An Analytic Model of Gravitational Collapse Induced by Radiative Cooling: Instability Scale, Infall Velocity, and Accretion Rate
James Gurian, Boyuan Liu, Donghui Jeong +3
We present an analytic description of the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of radiatively cooling gas clouds, which illustrates the mechanism by which radiative cooling…
Towards a universal analytical model for Population III star formation: interplay between feedback and fragmentation
Boyuan Liu, James Gurian, Kohei Inayoshi +4
JWST has brought us new insights into Cosmic Dawn with tentative detection of the unique signatures of metal-free Population III (Pop III) stars, such as strong HeII emission, extr…
RIGEL: Simulating dwarf galaxies at solar mass resolution with radiative transfer and feedback from individual massive stars
Yunwei Deng, Hui Li, Boyuan Liu +3
We introduce the RIGEL model, a novel framework to self-consistently model the effects of stellar feedback in the multiphase ISM of dwarf galaxies with radiative transfer (RT) on a…
