We introduce a new set of large-scale, high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the intergalactic medium: the Sherwood simulation suite. These are performed in volumes of 103–1603h−3 comoving Mpc3, span almost four orders of magnitude in mass re...

A nearby source of Lyman–Werner (LW) photons is thought to be a central component in dissociating H2 and allowing for the formation of a direct collapse black hole seed. Nearby sources are also expected to produce copious amounts of hydrogen ionizing... Read More about Positive or negative?

Forming supermassive black hole seeds under the influence of a nearby anisotropic multifrequency source (2016)
Journal Article

The photodissociation of H2 by a nearby anisotropic source of radiation is seen as a critical component in creating an environment in which a direct collapse black hole may form. Employing radiative transfer we model the effect of multifrequency (0.7... Read More about Forming supermassive black hole seeds under the influence of a nearby anisotropic multifrequency source.
