Massive black hole remnants of the first stars III: observational signatures from the past
Ranty R. Islam, James E. Taylor, Joseph Silk
The first stars forming in minihaloes at redshifts greater than 20 may have been very massive and could have left behind massive black hole (MBH) remnants. In previous papers we in…
Massive black hole remnants of the first stars II: optical and X-ray signatures in present-day galactic haloes
Ranty R. Islam, James E. Taylor, Joseph Silk
The first stars forming in minihaloes at redshifts greater than 20 may have been very massive and could have left behind massive black hole (MBH) remnants. In a previous paper we i…
Massive black hole remnants of the first stars I: abundance in present-day galactic haloes
Ranty R. Islam, James E. Taylor, Joseph Silk
We investigate the possibility that present-day galaxies and their dark matter haloes contain a population of massive black holes (MBHs) that form by hierarchical merging of the bl…
Non-Standard Structure Formation Scenarios
Alexander Knebe, Brett Little, Ranty Islam +3
Observations on galactic scales seem to be in contradiction with recent high resolution N-body simulations. This so-called cold dark matter (CDM) crisis has been addressed in sever…
Massive black hole remnants of the first stars in galactic haloes
Ranty R. Islam, James E. Taylor, Joseph Silk
We investigate the possibility that present-day galactic haloes contain a population of massive black holes (MBHs) that form by hierarchical merging of the black hole remnants of t…
Warm Dark Matter versus Bumpy Power Spectra
Brett Little, Alexander Knebe, Ranty Islam
In this paper we are exploring the differences between a Warm Dark Matter model and a CDM model where the power on a certain scale is reduced by introducing a narrow negative featu…
