CERN Colloquium SPEAKER: Priyamvada Natarajan TITLE: Tracing the origin of the first black holes DATE: 18 Oct 2018, 16:30 PLACE: 503-1-001 - Council Chamber ABSTRACT Black holes appear be ubiquitous in the universe – most galaxies, if not all, appear to host a supermassive one in their nucleus. The origin of the first, seed black holes, however, remains an open question. Observationally detected bright quasars powered by accreting black holes are found to be in place when the universe was a fraction of its current age and accounting for their existence necessitates rapid growth from a new class of initial seeds. Natarajan will present her work on a new channel to form massive black hole seeds in the early universe – direct collapse black holes – that form in pristine pre-galactic gas disks; the mounting evidence from multi-wavelength data that supports this picture as well as the prospects for testing this model further with data from future space observatories - the James Webb Space Telescope, WFIRST, eROSITA and Euclid mission. About the speaker: Natarajan is a professor at Yale University, with appointments in the Departments of Astronomy and Physics, where she also serves as the Director of the Franke Program in Science and the Humanities currently. She is the Chair of the Division of Astrophysics of the American Physical Society. Her research work has focused on confronting theoretical models and state of the art simulations with observational data in understanding the formation, fueling and feedback from black holes tracking their assembly history over cosmic time and mapping dark matter from gravitational lensing to test the standard paradigm for structure formation. Recipient of many awards and honors for her research including a Title A fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge; Guggenheim, Radcliffe, Paco Ynudrian and Caroline Herschel fellowships, she also holds the Tycho and Sophie Brahe Visiting Professorship at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and an honorary professorship for life at the University of Delhi. Organised by: W. Lerche/TH-SP........ Tea and coffee will be served at 16h00.

APSELL Senior Executive Producer, NOVA, and Director, WGBH Science Unit, WGBH Boston Paula Apsell began her work in broadcast typing the public broadcaster WGBH Boston’s daily logs, a job, she notes, that is now mercifully automated. While at WGBH-FM, her next move, she developed the award-winning children’s drama series The Spider’s Web and served as an on-air radio news producer. She then joined WGBH’s pioneering science documentary series NOVA, producing, among several other programs, Death of a Disease, the first long-form documentary about the worldwide eradication of smallpox. Moving to WCVB, the ABC affiliate in Boston, she became senior producer for medical programming, working with Dr. Timothy Johnson.

Quasar Outflows and the Formation of Dwarf Galaxies

A. 2 October 2018 ABSTRACT In this paper we propose a scenario for the formation of a population of baryon rich, dark matter deficient dwarf galaxies at high redshift from the mass swept out in the Inter-Galactic Medium (IGM) by energetic outflows from luminous quasars. We pre- dict the intrinsic properties of these galaxies, and examine the prospects for their ob- servational detection in the optical, X-ray and radio wavebands. Detectable thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements on arc-minute scales in the cosmic microwave back- ground radiation maps are expected during the shock-heated expanding phase from these hot bubbles. We conclude that the optimal detection strategy for these dwarfs is via narrow-band Lyman-α imaging of regions around high redshift quasars. A scaled down (in the energetics) version of the same model is speculated upon as a possible mechanism for forming pre-galactic globular clusters. Key words: 1 INTRODUCTION sponding to the mass of dwarf galaxy size objects, akin to the explosion-driven galaxy formation scenarios proposed Galaxy formation is a complex physical process involving by McKee & Ostriker (1977), Ostriker & Cowie (1981) and several length, mass and time scales, therefore it is expected Ostriker & Ikeuchi (1983).

Sunyaev-Zeldovich Decrements with No Clusters?
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 000–000 (0000) Printed 9 October 2018 Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements with no clusters? Priyamvada Natarajan & Steinn Sigurdsson Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA, U. K. 9 October 2018 ABSTRACT Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements in the temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) are produced by Thomson scattering of the CMB photons by the confined hot electrons in the Intra-Cluster Medium encountered along the line-of-sight. In this paper, we propose an alternate physical process that can produce detectable thermal and kine- matic Sunyaev-Zeldovich decrements around quasars or quasar pairs in regions where no assembled, virialized clusters are detected either in the optical or X-ray wave-band. Invoking quasar outflows, we argue that both thermal and kinematic decrements can be produced by the baryons swept up by the mechanical luminosity of quasars. In contrast to the case of decrements produced by the hot electrons confined within the cluster potential, the magnitude of these quasar-outflow induced effects depend pri- marily on the luminosity of the QSO, and the physical scale of the outflow - which in turn depends both on the mean local density and the density gradient in the vicinity of the quasar. Quasar outflows produce (i) a frequency independent kinematic decrement −4 ∆T/T ∼ 10 ; (ii) a frequency dependent fluctuation in the intensity ∆Jν /Jν ∼ a 20% variation relative to ∆T/T , say at 15 GHz and 30 GHz; (iii) a temperature increment ∆T/T ∼ 10−4 on the opposite side of the QSO; (iv) a linear polarization signal over 20” at ∼ 10−7 level; and therefore (v) patches of signal ∆T/T ∼ 10−4 on degree scales which will contribute to the power and hence affect the CMB multipole calculations in the rising region of the first Doppler peak at l ∼ 60 for CDM-like models as well as defect models.
