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…

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray Acceleration in Engine-driven Relativistic Supernovae

Sayan Chakraborti, Alak Ray, Alicia Soderberg +2

The origin of the highest energy cosmic rays remains an enigma. They offer a window to new physics, including tests of physical laws relevant to their propagation and interactions,…

The First Sources of Light

Volker Bromm, Abraham Loeb

We review recent theoretical results on the formation of the first stars and quasars in the universe, and emphasize related open questions. In particular, we list important differe…

Formation of the First Supermassive Black Holes

Volker Bromm, Abraham Loeb

We consider the physical conditions under which supermassive black holes could have formed inside the first galaxies. Our SPH simulations indicate that metal-free galaxies with a v…

Empirical Constraints on the First Stars and Quasars

Zoltan Haiman, Avi Loeb

Empirical studies of the first generation of stars and quasars in the Universe will likely become feasible over the next decade. The Next Generation Space Telescope will provide di…
