SEEDZ: Rapid Galaxy Assembly as a Pathway to Supermassive Stars, Dense Stellar Environments and Massive Black Hole Seeds
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +14
We investigate the assembly history of early galaxies in the SEEDZ hydrodynamic simulations, to investigate the high inflow rates believed to be required for the formation of super…
The Impact of Radiation Environment on the Evolution and Fragmentation of Protostellar Discs
Matt T. Cusack, Paul C. Clark, Ken Rice +5
We present high-resolution zoom-in simulations of molecular clouds exposed to an interstellar radiation field and cosmic ray ionisation rate up to 1000 times stronger than that of…
The Impact of Fuzzy Dark Matter Dynamics on the Accumulation and Fragmentation of Primordial Gas
Alexander Tocher, Anastasia Fialkov, Simon May +4
Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), particularly in the eV mass regime is frequently used to characterize wave-like interference effects. It exhibits macroscopic wave properties, w…
Black Hole Feedback, Galaxy Quenching and Outflows at Cosmic Dawn: Analysis of the SEEDZ Simulations
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we analyse the growth and feedback effects of massive black holes (MBHs) in the SEEDZ simulations. The most massive black holes grow to masses of M by $z=…
The SEEDZ Simulations: Methodology and First Results on Massive Black Hole Seeding and Early Galaxy Growth
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Daxal Mehta +13
Here we introduce the SEEDZ simulations, a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations exploring the formation and growth of the first massive black holes in the Universe. SEEDZ…
Heavy Black Hole Seed Formation in High-z Atomic Cooling Halos
Lewis R. Prole, John A. Regan, Simon C. O. Glover +3
Halos with masses in excess of the atomic limit are believed to be ideal environments in which to form heavy black hole seeds with masses above 10^3 Msun. In cases where the H_2 fr…
NEATH II: NH as a tracer of imminent star formation in quiescent high-density gas
F. D. Priestley, P. C. Clark, S. C. O. Glover +4
Star formation activity in molecular clouds is often found to be correlated with the amount of material above a column density threshold of . Attempt…
Molecular cooling in the diffuse interstellar medium
S. C. O. Glover, P. C. Clark
We use a simple one-zone model of the thermal and chemical evolution of interstellar gas to study whether molecular hydrogen (H2) is ever an important coolant of the warm, diffuse…
Is molecular gas necessary for star formation?
S. C. O. Glover, P. C. Clark
On galactic scales, the surface density of star formation appears to be well correlated with the surface density of molecular gas. This has lead many authors to suggest that there…
