New paper: Connection between early and local galaxies
Earlier this month, our paper (arXiv) on the chemical enrichment of the first galaxies and their connection to local ultra-faint dwarf galaxies was accepted to MNRAS. This paper was led by JHU postdoctoral researcher Lauren Corlies. We compared the average metallicities of both simulated and actual galaxies to determine how and when they … Continue Reading ››
New paper: Supermassive star formation
Last month we submitted a paper (arXiv) on the direct collapse of a gaseous cloud into the beginnings of a supermassive star that will then further collapse into massive black hole around 10,000 to 100,000 solar masses. This paper was led by postdoctoral research Yang Luo at Osaka University and University of Kentucky. We … Continue Reading ››

New Paper: Early massive black hole growth
Today we submitted a paper (arXiv) that follows the growth of a massive black hole seed in the early universe. We found that supernova explosions heat and stir up the gas inside the gas, preventing the central black hole to accrete and grow rapidly. Stars form at rates 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than … Continue Reading ››
