Revised rate coefficients for H and H destruction by realistic stellar spectra
Bhaskar Agarwal, Sadegh Khochfar
Understanding the processes that can destroy H and H species is quintessential in governing the formation of the first stars, black holes and galaxies. In this study we com…
The impact of reionization on the formation of supermassive black hole seeds
Jarrett L. Johnson, Daniel J. Whalen, Bhaskar Agarwal +2
Direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) formed from the collapse of atomically-cooled primordial gas in the early Universe are strong candidates for the seeds of supermassive BHs. DCBH…
The First Billion Years project: birthplaces of direct collapse black holes
Bhaskar Agarwal, Claudio Dalla Vecchia, Jarrett L. Johnson +2
We investigate the environment in which direct-collapse black holes may form by analysing a cosmological, hydrodynamical simulation that is part of the First Billion Years project.…
