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…
Minimum star-forming halo mass in axion cosmology
James M. Sullivan, Shingo Hirano, Volker Bromm
Elucidating the particle physics nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the great challenges in modern science. The current lack of any direct DM detections in the laboratory heighte…
Baryon-dark matter scattering and first star formation
Shingo Hirano, Volker Bromm
The recent detection of the sky-averaged 21-cm cosmological signal indicates a stronger absorption than the maximum allowed value based on the standard model. One explanation for t…
Angular momentum transfer in primordial discs and the rotation of the first stars
Shingo Hirano, Volker Bromm
We investigate the rotation velocity of the first stars by modelling the angular momentum transfer in the primordial accretion disc.Assessing the impact of magnetic braking, we con…
Metal-poor star formation triggered by the feedback effects from Pop III stars
Gen Chiaki, Hajime Susa, Shingo Hirano
Metal enrichment by the first-generation (Pop III) stars is the very first step of the matter cycle in the structure formation and it is followed by the formation of extremely meta…
