Radiative feedback for supermassive star formation in a massive cloud with H2 molecules in an atomic-cooling halo
Yuya Sakurai, Zoltán Haiman, Kohei Inayoshi
Recent three-dimensional cosmological simulations of protogalaxy formation have suggested that supermassive stars (SMSs) can form in gas clouds in which H cooling is suppressed…
Titans of the Early Universe: The Prato Statement on the Origin of the First Supermassive Black Holes
Tyrone E. Woods, Bhaskar Agarwal, Volker Bromm +30
In recent years, the discovery of massive quasars at z~7 has provided a striking challenge to our understanding of the origin and growth of supermassive black holes in the early Un…
Growth of intermediate mass black holes by tidal disruption events in the first star clusters
Yuya Sakurai, Naoki Yoshida, Michiko S. Fujii
We study the stellar dynamics of the first star clusters after intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are formed via runaway stellar collisions. We use the outputs of cosmological s…
Formation of the first star clusters and massive star binaries by fragmentation of filamentary primordial gas clouds
Shingo Hirano, Naoki Yoshida, Yuya Sakurai +1
We perform a set of cosmological simulations of early structure formation with incorporating baryonic streaming motions. We present a case where a significantly elongated gas cloud…
Formation of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes through Runaway Collisions in the First Star Clusters
Yuya Sakurai, Naoki Yoshida, Michiko S. Fujii +1
We study the formation of massive black holes in the first star clusters. We first locate star-forming gas clouds in proto-galactic haloes of in c…
