A-SLOTH: Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos

Mattis Magg, Tilman Hartwig, Li-Hsin Chen +1

Galaxies are thought to reside inside of large gravitationally bound structures of dark matter, so-called haloes. While the smallest of these haloes host no or only a few stars, th…

Origin of supermassive black holes in massive metal-poor protoclusters

D. R. G. Schleicher, B. Reinoso, M. Latif +6

While large numbers of supermassive black holes have been detected at z>6, their origin is still essentially unclear. Numerical simulations have shown that the conditions for the c…

Radiation Hydrodynamical Simulations of the Birth of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the First Galaxies

Muhammad A. Latif, Sadegh Khochfar, Dominik Schleicher +1

The leading contenders for the seeds of quasars are direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) forming in atomically-cooled halos at 20. However, the Lyman-Werner (LW) UV…

Formation of Pop II star clusters in the aftermath of a pair instability supernova

Muhammad A. Latif, Dominik Schleicher

Pop II stars formed a few hundred million years after the Big Bang were key drivers of cosmic reionization and building blocks of high redshift galaxies. How and when these stars f…

Inception of a first quasar at cosmic dawn

Muhammad A. Latif, Sadegh Khochfar

Earliest quasars at the cosmic dawn are powered by mass accretion onto supermassive black holes of a billion solar masses. Massive black hole seeds forming through the direct colla…

Radio Power from a Direct-Collapse Black Hole in CR7

Daniel J. Whalen, Mar Mezcua, Avery Meiksin +2

The leading contenders for the seeds of the first quasars are direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) formed during catastrophic baryon collapse in atomically-cooled halos at
