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 …
The Birth of Binary Direct-Collapse Black Holes
Muhammad A. Latif, Sadegh Khochfar, Daniel Whalen
Supermassive primordial stars forming during catastrophic baryon collapse in atomically-cooling halos at 15 - 20 may be the origin of the first quasars in the universe. Ho…
