  • Formation of the First Stars
    Formation of the First Stars Volker Bromm Department of Astronomy, University of Texas, 2511 Speedway, Austin, TX 78712, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Understanding the formation of the first stars is one of the frontier topics in modern astrophysics and cosmology. Their emergence signalled the end of the cosmic dark ages, a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, leading to a fundamental transformation of the early Universe through the production of ionizing photons and the initial enrichment with heavy chemical elements. We here review the state of our knowledge, separating the well understood elements of our emerging picture from those where more work is required. Primordial star formation is unique in that its initial conditions can be directly inferred from the Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model of cosmological structure formation. Combined with gas cooling that is mediated via molecular hydrogen, one can robustly identify the regions of primordial star formation, 6 the so-called minihalos, having total masses of 10 M⊙ and collapsing at redshifts ∼ z 20 30. Within this framework, a number of studies have defined a preliminary ≃ − standard model, with the main result that the first stars were predominantly massive. This model has recently been modified to include a ubiquitous mode of fragmentation in the protostellar disks, such that the typical outcome of primordial star formation may be the formation of a binary or small multiple stellar system. We will also discuss extensions to this standard picture due to the presence of dynamically significant magnetic fields, of heating from self-annihalating WIMP dark matter, or cosmic rays.

We saw last time how the mass of a star determines what sort of ‘corpse’ it leaves behind once fusion has ceased in its core. 1 Schematics of a White Dwarf and a Neutron Star (Note: Sizes not to scale!) Since they generate no fusion energy, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars fend off gravity via ‘degeneracy pressure’ – from tightly packed, relativistic electrons in the case of a White Dwarf, and from neutrons in the case of a Neutron Star. This image is a bit better to scale – recall that White Dwarfs are about the size of the Earth, while Neutron Stars are much smaller, about the size of a city. Yet they are more massive than White Dwarfs, and the gravitational forces near their surfaces are much, much stronger – Vancouver would not survive this encounter! 2 White Dwarfs can eventually do some more fusing – but only if they are in a binary system and gravitationally ‘cannibalize’ hydrogen from their companion. This fusion can take the form of a relatively (!) small, surface- level eruption called a “nova” – but if enough mass is transferred to get above the Chandrasekhar Limit of about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun one can get a “White Dwarf Supernova”. Accretion onto Neutron Stars can also produce

Particular attention is given to the wave transport of the magnetic field in a cloud whose gas dynamics is dominated by electron flows; the mobility of neutrals and ions is regarded as heavily suppressed. It is shown that electromagnetic waves penetrating such a cloud can be converted into helicons – weakly damped, circularly polarized waves in which the densities of the magnetic flux and the electron current undergo coherent oscillations. These waves are interesting in their own right, because for electron magnetohydrodynamics the low-frequency helicoidal waves have the same physical significance as the transverse Alfve´n waves do for a single-component magnetohydro- dynamics. The latter, as is known, are considered to be responsible for the widths of molecular lines detected in dark, magnetically supported clouds.

Dark Stars are stellar objects made (almost entirely) of hydrogen and helium, but powered by the heat from Dark Matter annihilation, rather than by fusion. They are in hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium, but with an unusual power source. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), among the best candidates for dark matter, can be their own antimatter and can annihilate inside the star, thereby providing a heat source. Although dark matter constitutes only <∼ 0.1% of the stellar mass, this amount is sufficient to power the star for millions to billions of years. Thus, the first phase of stellar evolution in the history of the Universe may have been dark stars. We review how dark stars come into existence, how they grow as long as dark matter fuel persists, and their stellar structure and evolution. The studies were done in two different ways, first assuming polytropic interiors and more recently using the MESA stellar evolution code; the basic results are the same.

  • Fermionic Dark Stars Spin Slowly
    Fermionic dark stars spin slowly Shin’ichirou Yoshida∗ Department of Earth Science and Astronomy, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Komaba 3-8-1, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153-8902, Japan (Dated: November 17, 2020) We study r-mode instability of rotating compact objects composed of asymmetric and self- interacting Fermionic dark matter (dark stars). It is argued that the instability limit the angular frequency of the stars less than half of the Keplerian frequency. This may constrain the stars as alternatives to fast spinning pulsars or rapidly rotating Kerr black holes. I. INTRODUCTION effect balances the growth of unstable r-modes. The re- sulting spin frequencies of stars are considerably smaller Some alternative models have been presented against than the Keplerian limit. For a model with typical mass such standard compact object models as neutron stars of a neutron star, the balancing frequency may be lower and black holes.

  • Imaging Black Hole Silhouettes
    Shedding Light on Darkness: Imaging Black Hole Silhouettes Avery E. Broderick & Abraham Loeb There is a famous TV commercial in which a cell phone technician travels to remote places and asks on his phone: \can you hear me now?". Imagine this technician traveling to the center of our Milky Way galaxy and approach- ing the massive black hole there, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), which weights as much as four million Suns. As the technician will get within a distance of ten million kilometers from the black hole, his cadence would begin to slow and his voice would deepen and fade, eventually turning to a monotone whisper with diminishing reception. If we were to look, we would see him frozen in time, his image increasingly red and fading as he hovers around the so-called event horizon of the black hole. The horizon is the boundary of the region from where we can never hear back the technician, because even light can- not escape from the strong pull of gravity over there. The first indication the technician will have that he has passed the horizon is hearing us saying \no, we can't hear you well!", but he will have only a short while to lament his fate before being torn apart by tidal gravitational forces near the central singularity. But he will have no way of sharing his last impressions from his journey with us. In real life we have not yet sent a technician on such a journey, but astronomers have developed techniques that allow them, for the first time in history, to probe the immediate vicinity of a black hole.

    Astronomy Open Night, Friday, December 2, 2016 ESS 001; 7:30 P.M. For more information: http://www.astro.sunysb.edu/openight/opennite.html Dr. Simone Dall'Osso “Black Holes From Early Speculations to Modern Astrophysics” Black holes are among the most enigmatic and fascinating celestial bodies, that we can now observe - indirectly - thanks to modern instruments able to reveal them through high-energy radiation and gravitational wave emission. The history of the concept of “dark star” can be dated back to the physics of the XVIII century. However, a proper definition of “black holes” only became possible more than one century later, thanks to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, although Einstein himself considered black holes as a mere mathematical oddity of his theory. Black holes do not allow any type of information to escape their interior (the so-called “event horizon”), but their presence strongly affects matter and space-time itself in their surroundings. It is this “influence”, with its very specific signatures, that our most advanced instruments can now reveal and measure in great detail. Thanks to theoretical and observational efforts of the XX century, we now know that millions of stellar-mass black holes exist in each galaxy, and that the center of most galaxies - including our own - harbor supermassive black holes with masses millions to billion times larger than our sun. Having revealed this astonishing picture is one of the great successes of modern astrophysics. In the last few years, the first detection of gravitational wave signals from binary black holes, and the discovery of tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes, have opened up whole new ways to ``detect” black holes and to study their physics.
