Massive star clusters detected by JWST as natural birth places to form intermediate-mass black holes
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, MatÃas Liempi, Mirek Giersz +11
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected, through gravitational lensing, several young massive star clusters (YMCs), which are considered as relevant building blocks of h…

Formation of supermassive stars in the first stellar clusters: Dependence on the gas temperature
P. A. Solar, B. Reinoso, D. R. G. Schleicher +2
The origin of supermassive black holes is an open question that has been explored considering gas- and collision-based formation channels to explain the high number of quasars obse…

Gravitational collapse at low to moderate Mach numbers: The relationship between star formation efficiency and the fraction of mass in the massive object
Jorge Saavedra-Bastidas, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Ralf S. Klessen +7
The formation of massive objects via gravitational collapse is relevant both for explaining the origin of the first supermassive black holes and in the context of massive star form…
