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…

Probing Pre-galactic Metal Enrichment with High-Redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts

F. Y. Wang, Volker Bromm, Thomas H. Greif +4

We explore high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as promising tools to probe pre-galactic metal enrichment. We utilize the bright afterglow of a Pop III GRB exploding in a primordi…

Formation and evolution of primordial protostellar systems

Thomas H. Greif, Volker Bromm, Paul C. Clark +5

We investigate the formation of the first stars at the end of the cosmic dark ages with a suite of three-dimensional, moving mesh simulations that directly resolve the collapse of…

The First Galaxies: Assembly with Black Hole Feedback

Myoungwon Jeon, Andreas H. Pawlik, Thomas H. Greif +4

We study how the first galaxies were assembled under feedback from the accretion onto a central black hole (BH) that is left behind by the first generation of metal-free stars thro…
