Initial mass function of intermediate mass black hole seeds
A. Ferrara, S. Salvadori, B. Yue +1
We study the Initial Mass Function (IMF) and host halo properties of Intermediate Mass Black Holes (IMBH, 10^{4-6} Msun) formed inside metal-free, UV illuminated atomic cooling hal…

Ultra-faint high-redshift galaxies in the Frontier Fields
Bin Yue, Andrea Ferrara, Eros Vanzella +1
By combining cosmological simulations with Frontier Fields project lens models we find that, in the most optimistic case, galaxies as faint as (AB magnitude at…

The brief era of direct collapse black hole formation
Bin Yue, Andrea Ferrara, Ruben Salvaterra +2
It has been proposed that the first, intermediate-mass () black holes might form through direct collapse of unpolluted gas in atomic-cooling halos exposed…
