A visualization toolkit for the simulation code Arepo

Thomas H. Greif

In this paper I describe the visualization toolkit Sator, which is designed to read, analyze and visualize simulation data of the moving-mesh code Arepo. It is written in Python an…

The numerical frontier of the high-redshift Universe

Thomas H. Greif

The first stars are believed to have formed a few hundred million years after the big bang in so-called dark matter minihalos with masses ~10^6 M_sun. Their radiation lit up the Un…

Formation of massive protostars in atomic cooling haloes

Fernando Becerra, Thomas H. Greif, Volker Springel +1

We present the highest-resolution three-dimensional simulation to date of the collapse of an atomic cooling halo in the early Universe. We use the moving-mesh code arepo with the p…

Multifrequency radiation hydrodynamics simulations of H2 line emission in primordial, star-forming clouds

Thomas H. Greif

We investigate the collapse of primordial gas in a minihalo with three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations that accurately model the transfer of H2 line emission. For t…

On the operation of the chemothermal instability in primordial star-forming clouds

Thomas H. Greif, Volker Springel, Volker Bromm

We investigate the operation of the chemothermal instability in primordial star-forming clouds with a suite of three-dimensional, moving-mesh simulations. In line with previous stu…

Rotation and Internal Structure of Population III Protostars

A. Stacy, T. H. Greif, R. S. Klessen +2

We analyze the cosmological simulations performed in the recent work of Greif et al. (2012), which followed the early growth and merger history of Pop III stars while resolving sca…
