FAUST XXXII. Chemically layered structures and ionisation in the disk and envelope of NGC 1333 IRAS 4C

Shota Notsu, Nami Sakai, Yichen Zhang +71

Recent molecular line observations with high spatial resolutions have revealed vertical chemical stratification in Class I/II disks (i.e. chemical composition changing with height…

Formation of Heavy Seed Black Holes and Little Red Dots-like Compact Clusters in Metal-enriched Star-forming Regions

Sunmyon Chon, Shingo Hirano, Ke-Jung Chen +1

The origin of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the early Universe remains uncertain. While the classical direct-collapse scenario requires pristine gas exposed to intense Lyman-…

Pebbles to Gems: Intermediate-mass black holes in the first star clusters

Benedetta Mestichelli, Manuel Arca Sedda, Marta Volonteri +9

The rapid assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at requires efficient seeding mechanisms in the early Universe. Population III (Pop. III) star clusters…

Towards A Universal Analytical Model of Population III Star Formation: A Bridge Between Cosmological Scales and Protostars

James Gurian, Boyuan Liu, Donghui Jeong +4

We construct an analytical model of Population III star formation that connects the cosmological radiation background to sub-AU protostellar disk fragmentation, a dynamic range ina…

Formation of first star clusters under the supersonic gas flow -- III. Environmental trends and halo-to-halo scatter in the Pop III IMF

Shingo Hirano, Yusuke Sakai, Hideyuki Umeda

The first generations of stars ionised and enriched their host galaxies and seeded the growth of massive black holes. Models often assume that Pop III stellar masses in different m…

Multiple protostellar outflows from a single protostar with a misaligned disk

Shingo Hirano, Yuri Aikawa, Masahiro N. Machida

We investigate how misalignment between the core angular momentum and the large-scale magnetic field affects protostellar outflows, and whether a single protostellar system can dri…
