A Novel Formation Channel for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the Early Universe via Primordial Black Holes
Saiyang Zhang, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm
We present a novel formation channel for supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the early Universe, driven by primordial black holes (PBHs). Using high-resolution hydrodynamica…
BlackTHUNDER: Evidence of three massive black holes in a z~5 galaxy
Hannah Übler, Giovanni Mazzolari, Roberto Maiolino +41
We present observational evidence of three massive, accreting black holes (BHs) in the z=5.0167 galaxy J0148-4214 from JWST/NIRSpec-IFU spectroscopy. The BHs are revealed through b…
A direct black hole mass measurement in a Little Red Dot at the Epoch of Reionization
Ignas Juodžbalis, Cosimo Marconcini, Francesco D'Eugenio +37
Recent discoveries of faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at the redshift frontier have revealed a plethora of broad \Halpha emitters with optically red continua, named Little Red D…
Little Red Dots and their Progenitors from Direct Collapse Black Holes
Junehyoung Jeon, Boyuan Liu, Volker Bromm +7
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered a new population of objects, the Little Red Dots (LRDs), characterized by V-shaped spectra indicative of strong breaks around t…
Effects of chemically homogeneous evolution of the first stars on the 21-cm signal and reionization
Boyuan Liu, Daniel Kessler, Thomas Gessey-Jones +6
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition.…
The Emerging Black Hole Mass Function in the High-Redshift Universe
Junehyoung Jeon, Boyuan Liu, Anthony J. Taylor +5
Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified an abundant population of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) already in place during the first few hundred mil…
GLIMPSE: An ultra-faint 10 Pop III Galaxy Candidate and First Constraints on the Pop III UV Luminosity Function at
Seiji Fujimoto, Rohan P. Naidu, John Chisholm +32
Detecting the first generation of stars, Population III (PopIII), has been a long-standing goal in astrophysics, yet they remain elusive even in the JWST era. Here we present a nov…
