Rotating Supermassive Pop III Stars On The Main Sequence

Devesh Nandal, Gaël Buldgen, Daniel J. Whalen +3

The detection of billion-solar-mass supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years of cosmic history challenges conventional theories of black hole formation and g…

Critical accretion rates for rapidly growing massive Population III stars

Devesh Nandal, John A. Regan, Tyrone E. Woods +3

Efforts to understand the origin and growth of massive black holes observed in the early Universe have spurred a strong interest in the evolution and fate of rapidly-accreting prim…

The Evolution of Population III and Extremely Metal-Poor Binary Stars

Sung-Han Tsai, Ke-Jung Chen, Daniel Whalen +2

Numerical simulations have now shown that Population III (Pop III) stars can form in binaries and small clusters and that these stars can be in close proximity to each other. If so…

3D hydrodynamics simulations of core convection in supermassive main-sequence stars

Simon Blouin, Huaqing Mao, Tyrone E. Woods +3

Supermassive stars are Population III stars with masses exceeding that could be the progenitors of the first supermassive black holes. Their interiors are in a re…

Modeling Supermassive Primordial Stars with MESA

Nicholas P. Herrington, Daniel J. Whalen, Tyrone E. Woods

Supermassive stars forming at 15 - 20 are one of the leading contenders for the origin of the first quasars, over 200 of which have now been discovered at 6. These s…

LIN 358: A symbiotic binary accreting above the steady hydrogen fusion limit

J. Kuuttila, M. Gilfanov, T. E. Woods +2

Symbiotic binaries are long period interacting binaries consisting of a white dwarf (WD) accreting material from a cool evolved giant star via stellar winds. In this paper we study…
