Early galaxy formation and its large-scale effects
Galaxy formation is at the heart of our understanding of cosmic evolution. Although there is a
consensus that galaxies emerged from the expanding matter background by gravitational …

What drives the growth of black holes?
DM Alexander, RC Hickox - New Astronomy Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …

One hundred first stars: protostellar evolution and the final masses
We perform a large set of radiation hydrodynamic simulations of primordial star formation in
a fully cosmological context. Our statistical sample of 100 First Stars shows that the first …

Supermassive Dark Star candidates seen by JWST
The first generation of stars in the universe is yet to be observed. There are two leading
theories for those objects that mark the beginning of the cosmic dawn: hydrogen burning …

What is a mechanism? Thinking about mechanisms across the sciences
After a decade of intense debate about mechanisms, there is still no consensus
characterization. In this paper we argue for a characterization that applies widely to …

Cosmological parameters from observations of galaxy clusters
Studies of galaxy clusters have proved crucial in hel** to establish the standard model of
cosmology, with a Universe dominated by dark matter and dark energy. A theoretical basis …

Simulations on a moving mesh: the clustered formation of population III protostars
The cosmic dark ages ended a few hundred million years after the big bang, when the first
stars began to fill the universe with new light. It has generally been argued that these stars …

The first galaxies
V Bromm, N Yoshida - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2011 - annualreviews.org
We review our current understanding of how the first galaxies formed at the end of the
cosmic dark ages a few 100 million years after the Big Bang. Modern large telescopes …

Galaxy formation theory
AJ Benson - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
We review the current theory of how galaxies form within the cosmological framework
provided by the cold dark matter paradigm for structure formation. Beginning with the pre …

The galaxy UV luminosity function before the epoch of reionization
We present a model for the evolution of the galaxy ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF)
across cosmic time where star formation is linked to the assembly of dark matter halos under …
