Matter of Life & Death: The impact of environmental conditions on the origins of stars and supermassive black holes
Caroline Van Borm
Observational evidence suggests that some very large supermassive black holes (SMBHs) already existed less than 1 Gyr after the Big Bang. Explaining the formation and growth of the…
Effects of turbulence and rotation on protostar formation as a precursor to seed black holes
C. Van Borm, S. Bovino, M. A. Latif +3
Context. The seeds of the first supermassive black holes may have resulted from the direct collapse of hot primordial gas in K haloes, forming a supermassive or quas…
A UV flux constraint on the formation of direct collapse black holes
M. A. Latif, S. Bovino, C. Van Borm +3
The ability of metal free gas to cool by molecular hydrogen in primordial halos is strongly associated with the strength of ultraviolet (UV) flux produced by the stellar population…
The influence of magnetic fields, turbulence, and UV radiation on the formation of supermassive black holes
C. Van Borm, M. Spaans
Context. The seeds of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of ~10^9 M_Sun observed already at z ~ 6 may have formed through the direct collapse of primordial gas in T_v…
