Role of magnetic fields in the formation of direct collapse black holes
Muhammad A. Latif, Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Sadegh Khochfar
Direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) are the leading candidates for the origin of the first supermassive black holes. However, the role of magnetic fields during their formation is…
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…
Unveiling the contribution of Pop III stars in primeval galaxies at redshift
Shafqat Riaz, Tilman Hartwig, Muhammad A. Latif
Detection of the first stars has remained elusive so-far but their presence may soon be unveiled by upcoming JWST observations. Previous studies have not investigated the entire po…
Turbulent Cold Flows Gave Birth to the First Quasars
Muhammad A. Latif, Daniel J. Whalen, Sadegh Khochfar +2
How quasars powered by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) formed less than a billion years after the Big Bang is still one of the outstanding problems in astrophysics 20 years after…
Public Release of A-SLOTH: Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos
Tilman Hartwig, Mattis Magg, Li-Hsin Chen +8
The semi-analytical model A-SLOTH (Ancient Stars and Local Observables by Tracing Halos) is the first public code that connects the formation of the first stars and galaxies to obs…
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…
