The Role of Primordial Kicks on Black Hole Merger Rates
Miroslav Micic, Tom Abel, Steinn Sigurdsson
Primordial stars are likely to be very massive $\geq30\Msun$, form in isolation, and will likely leave black holes as remnants in the centers of their host dark matter halos in the…
An excursion set model of the cosmic web: The abundance of sheets, filaments and halos
Jiajian Shen, Tom Abel, H. J. Mo +1
We discuss an analytic approach for modeling structure formation in sheets, filaments and knots. This is accomplished by combining models of triaxial collapse with the excursion se…
The Formation of Primordial Luminous Objects
Emanuele Ripamonti, Tom Abel
In these lecture notes we review the current knowledge about the formation of the first luminous objects. We start from the cosmological context of hierarchical models of structure…
Forming a Primordial Star in a Relic HII Region
Brian W. O'Shea, Tom Abel, Dan Whalen +1
There has been considerable theoretical debate over whether photoionization and supernova feedback from the first Population III stars facilitate or suppress the formation of the n…
