Outflows from inflows: the nature of Bondi-like accretion
Tim Waters, Aycin Aykutalp, Daniel Proga +3
The classic Bondi solution remains a common starting point both for studying black hole growth across cosmic time in cosmological simulations and for smaller scale simulations of A…
Induced metal-free star formation around a massive black hole seed
Aycin Aykutalp, Kirk S. S. Barrow, John H. Wise +1
The direct formation of a massive black hole is a potential seeding mechanism of the earliest observed supermassive black holes. We investigate how the existence of a massive black…
Observational signatures of massive black hole formation in the early universe
Kirk S. S. Barrow, Aycin Aykutalp, John H. Wise
Space telescope observations of massive black holes during their formation may be key to understanding the origin of supermassive black holes and high-redshift quasars. To create d…
Extreme Primordial Star Formation Enabled by High Redshift Quasars
Jarrett L. Johnson, Aycin Aykutalp
High redshift quasars emit copious X-ray photons which heat the intergalactic medium to temperatures up to 10 K. At such high temperatures the primordial gas will not fo…
First Light II: Emission Line Extinction, Population III Stars, and X-ray Binaries
Kirk S. S. Barrow, John H. Wise, Aycin Aykutalp +3
We produce synthetic spectra and observations for metal-free stellar populations and high mass X-ray binaries in the Renaissance Simulations at a redshift of 15. We extend our meth…
Songlines from Direct Collapse Seed Black Holes: Effects of X-rays on Black Hole Growth and Stellar Populations
Aycin Aykutalp, John H. Wise, Marco Spaans +1
In the last decade, the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) has been intricately linked to galaxy formation and evolution and is a key ingredient in the assembly of galaxies…
