Formation of SMBH seeds in Pop III star clusters through collisions : the importance of mass loss

P. J. Alister Seguel, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. C. N. Boekholt +2

Runaway collisions in dense clusters may lead to the formation of supermassive black hole (SMBH) seeds, and this process can be further enhanced by accretion, as recent models of S…
