The Rotation of SuperMassive Stars
Lionel Haemmerlé
Supermassive stars (SMSs), with masses M, have been proposed as the possible progenitors of the most extreme supermassive black holes observed at redshifts .…
On the maximum accretion rate of supermassive stars
L. Haemmerlé, R. S. Klessen, L. Mayer +1
The formation of the most massive quasars observed at high redshifts requires extreme inflows of gas down to the length scales of the central compact object. Here, we estimate the…
General-relativistic instability in rapidly accreting supermassive stars: the impact of rotation
Lionel Haemmerlé
Supermassive stars (SMSs) collapsing via the general-relativistic (GR) instability are invoked as the possible progenitors of supermassive black holes. Their mass and angular momen…
General-relativistic instability in hylotropic supermassive stars
Lionel Haemmerlé
The formation of supermassive black holes by direct collapse would imply the existence of supermassive stars (SMSs) and their collapse through the general-relativistic (GR) instabi…
Rapidly accreting supermassive stars: reliable determination of the final mass
Lionel Haemmerlé
Supermassive black holes might form by direct collapse, with a supermassive star (SMS) as progenitor. In this scenario, the SMS accretes at > 0.1 Msun/yr until it collapses into a…
