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…
On the Origin of the Bimodal Rotational Velocity Distribution in Stellar Clusters: Rotation on the Pre-Main Sequence
Nate Bastian, Sebastian Kamann, Louis Amard +3
We address the origin of the observed bimodal rotational distribution of stars in massive young and intermediate age stellar clusters. This bimodality is seen as split main sequenc…
The IACOB project. VI. On the elusive detection of massive O-type stars close to the ZAMS
G. Holgado, S. Simón-Díaz, L. Haemmerlé +7
The apparent lack of massive O-type stars near the zero-age main sequence (at ages < 2 Myr) is a topic widely discussed. Different explanations for this elusive detection have been…
On Monolithic Supermassive Stars
Tyrone E. Woods, Alexander Heger, Lionel Haemmerlé
Supermassive stars have been proposed as the progenitors of the massive () quasars observed at . Prospects for directly detecting supermassive…
Formation of the first stars and black holes
Lionel Haemmerlé, Lucio Mayer, Ralf S. Klessen +3
We review the current status of knowledge concerning the early phases of star formation during cosmic dawn. This includes the first generations of stars forming in the lowest mass…
