Metal Enrichment in the Reionization Epoch
Andrea Ferrara
The presence of elements heavier than helium ("metals") is of fundamental importance for a large number of astrophysical processes occurring in planet, star and galaxy formation; i…
On the [CII]-SFR relation in high redshift galaxies
L. Vallini, S. Gallerani, A. Ferrara +2
After two ALMA observing cycles, only a handful of [CII] emission line searches in z>6 galaxies have reported a positive detection, questioning the applicability of the l…
The Growth Efficiency of High-Redshift Black Holes
Fabio Pacucci, Marta Volonteri, Andrea Ferrara
The observational evidence that Super-Massive Black Holes () are already in place less than after the Big Bang…
The Brightest Ly Emitter: Pop III or Black Hole?
A. Pallottini, A. Ferrara, F. Pacucci +6
CR7 is the brightest emitter (LAE) known to date, and spectroscopic follow-up by Sobral et al. (2015) suggests that CR7 might host Population (Pop) III stars.…
Intensity mapping of [CII] from early galaxies
Bin Yue, Andrea Ferrara, Andrea Pallottini +2
The intensity mapping of the [CII] 157.7 m fine-structure emission line represents an ideal experiment to probe star formation activity in galaxies, especially in those that…
The chemical evolution of self-gravitating primordial disks
Dominik R. G. Schleicher, Stefano Bovino, Muhammad A. Latif +2
Numerical simulations show the formation of self-gravitating primordial disks during the assembly of the first structures in the Universe, in particular during the formation of Pop…
