Fragmentation inside atomic cooling haloes exposed to Lyman-Werner radiation
John A. Regan, Turlough P. Downes
Supermassive stars born in pristine environments in the early Universe hold the promise of being the seeds for the supermassive black holes observed as high redshift quasars shortl…
The formation of direct collapse black holes under the influence of streaming velocities
Anna T. P. Schauer, John Regan, Simon C. O. Glover +1
We study the influence of a high baryonic streaming velocity on the formation of direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) with the help of cosmological simulations carried out using the…
An analytic resolution to the competition between Lyman-Werner radiation and metal winds in direct collapse black hole hosts
Bhaskar Agarwal, John Regan, Ralf S. Klessen +2
A near pristine atomic cooling halo close to a star forming galaxy offers a natural pathway for forming massive direct collapse black hole (DCBH) seeds which could be the progenito…
Rapid Formation of Massive Black Holes in close proximity to Embryonic Proto-Galaxies
John Regan, Eli Visbal, John H. Wise +3
The Direct Collapse Black Hole (DCBH) scenario provides a solution for forming the massive black holes powering bright quasars observed in the early Universe. A prerequisite for fo…
