The formation of supermassive black holes from Population III.1 seeds. IV. Self-regulated seeding from supermassive star ionizing feedback
Maya A. Petkova, Jonathan C. Tan, Jasbir Singh +5
Supermassive Population III.1 stars, i.e., formed from pristine, metal-free gas leading to conditions where dark matter annihilation heating is significant, have been proposed as t…
Trends with Mass for Dwarf Galaxies from the Marvelous Massive Dwarfs Suite
Dilys Ruan, Alyson M. Brooks, Leonardo A. Barba +7
Galaxy formation scenarios can be interpreted through galaxy morphology and the level of rotational versus pressure support, quantified through the ratio of a galaxy's rotation spe…
Glimmers in the Cosmic Dawn. III. On the Photometrically Determined Black Hole Mass to Stellar Mass Relation Across Cosmic Time
Alice R. Young, Matthew J. Hayes, Alberto Saldana-Lopez +7
We present the results from performing spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting on 121 variable active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) usin…
Glimmers in the Cosmic Dawn. II. A variability census of supermassive black holes across the Universe
Vieri Cammelli, Jonathan C. Tan, Alice R. Young +7
Understanding the origin and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBH) stands as one of the most important challenges in astrophysics and cosmology, with little current theoreti…
The Emergence and Ionizing Feedback of Pop III.1 Stars as Progenitors for Supermassive Black Holes
Mahsa Sanati, Jonathan C. Tan, Julien Devriendt +9
Recent observations by JWST reveal an unexpectedly abundant population of rapidly growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe, underscoring the need for improved…
