The First Galaxies and the Effect of Heterogeneous Enrichment from Primordial Stars
Azton I. Wells, Michael L. Norman
We incorporate new scale-intelligent models of metal-enriched star formation (\starss) with surrogate models of primordial stellar feedback (\starnet) into the astrophysics simulat…
Connecting Primordial Star Forming Regions and Second Generation Star Formation in the Phoenix Simulations
Azton I. Wells, Michael L. Norman
We introduce the {\em Phoenix Simulations}, a suite of highly resolved cosmological simulations featuring hydrodynamics, primordial gas chemistry, Population III and II star format…
Some First Stars Were Red: Detecting Signatures of Massive Population III Formation Through Long-Term Stochastic Color Variations
Tyrone E. Woods, Chris J. Willott, John A. Regan +4
Identifying stars formed in pristine environments (Pop III) within the first billion years is vital to uncovering the earliest growth and chemical evolution of galaxies. Pop III ga…
Predicting Localized Primordial Star Formation with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Azton I. Wells, Michael L. Norman
We investigate applying 3D deep convolutional neural networks as fast surrogate models of the formation and feedback effects of primordial stars in hydrodynamic cosmological simula…
External Enrichment of Minihalos by the First Supernovae
William Hicks, Azton Wells, Michael L. Norman +3
Recent high-resolution simulations of early structure formation have shown that externally enriched halos may form some of the first metal enriched stars. This study utilizes a 1 c…
The Formation of Very Massive Stars in Early Galaxies and Implications for Intermediate Mass Black Holes
John A. Regan, John H. Wise, Tyrone E. Woods +3
We investigate the ab-initio formation of super-massive stars in a pristine atomic cooling halo. The halo is extracted from a larger self-consistent parent simulation. The halo rem…
