How do Primordial Black Holes change the Halo Mass Function and Structure?
Saiyang Zhang, Volker Bromm, Boyuan Liu
We examine the effects of massive primordial black holes (PBHs) on cosmic structure formation, employing both a semi-analytical approach and cosmological simulations. Our simulatio…
Distinguishing the impact and signature of black holes from different origins in early cosmic history
Saiyang Zhang, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We use semi-analytical models to study the effects of primordial black hole (PBH) accretion on the cosmic radiation background during the epoch of reionization (). We c…
Accelerating early massive galaxy formation with primordial black holes
Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
Recent observations with JWST have identified several bright galaxy candidates at , some of which appear unusually massive (up to ). Such…
Lessons on early structure formation from a mature galaxy cluster observed at cosmic noon
Boyuan Liu, Anna T. P. Schauer, Volker Bromm
We demonstrate a new approach of indirectly constraining both early star and structure formation via mature galaxy clusters at cosmic noon (z~2), using the cluster XLSSC 122 as an…
Gravitational waves from Population III binary black holes formed by dynamical capture
Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We use cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to study the gravitational wave (GW) signals from high-redshift binary black holes (BBHs) formed by dynamical capture (ex-situ formatio…
