From Feedback-Free Star Clusters to Little Red Dots via Compaction

Avishai Dekel, Dhruba Dutta Chowdhury, Sharon Lapiner +6

We address the origin of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) seen by JWST at cosmic morning () as compact stellar systems with over-massive black holes (BHs). We propose…

From FFB Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn to Quenching at Cosmic Morning: Hi-z Galaxy Bimodality

Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker, Zhaozhou Li +5

We propose a mass-dependent bimodality in the early evolution of galaxies. The massive track connects the super-bright galaxies at cosmic dawn () to the super-massive quiesc…

Radial Transport in High-Redshift Disk Galaxies Dominated by Inflowing Streams

Dhruba Dutta Chowdhury, Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker +2

We study the radial transport of cold gas within simulated disk galaxies at cosmic noon, aiming at distinguishing between disk instability and accretion along cold streams from the…

On the origin of compressive turbulence in protoclumps in high redshift disks

Omry Ginzburg, Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker +4

The giant, star forming clumps in gas-rich, high redshift disks are commonly assumed to form due to gravitational instabilities, in which protoclumps have a Toomre- parameter le…

Growth of Massive Black-Holes in FFB Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

Avishai Dekel, Nicholas C. Stone, Dhruba Dutta Chowdhury +4

The scenario of feedback-free starbursts (FFB), which predicts excessively bright galaxies at cosmic dawn as observed using JWST, may provide a natural setting for black hole (BH)…
