WIMP DM and first stars: suppression of fragmentation in primordial star formation
Rowan J. Smith, Fabio Iocco, Simon C. O. Glover +4
We present the first 3D simulations to include the effects of dark matter annihilation feedback during the collapse of primordial mini-halos. We begin our simulations from cosmolog…
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…
Variable Accretion Rates and Fluffy First Stars
Rowan J. Smith, Takashi Hosokawa, Kazuyuki Omukai +2
We combine the output of hydrodynamical simulations of Population III star cluster formation with stellar evolution models, and calculate the evolution of protostars experiencing v…
The Effects of Accretion Luminosity upon Fragmentation in the Early Universe
Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover, Paul C. Clark +2
We introduce a prescription for the luminosity from accreting protostars into smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation, and apply the method to simulations of five primordial min…
The Formation and Fragmentation of Disks around Primordial Protostars
Paul C. Clark, Simon C. O. Glover, Rowan J. Smith +3
The very first stars to form in the Universe heralded an end to the cosmic dark ages and introduced new physical processes that shaped early cosmic evolution. Until now, it was tho…
Simulations on a Moving Mesh: The Clustered Formation of Population III Protostars
Thomas Greif, Volker Springel, Simon White +5
The cosmic dark ages ended a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, when the first stars began to fill the universe with new light. It has generally been argued that these s…
