摘要:

早在z ~ 7就存在超大质量黑洞是宇宙学结构形成中尚未解决的重大问题之一。一个主要的理论认为,它们是在z ~ 15原星系中强莱曼-维尔纳紫外背景下的灾难性重子坍缩过程中诞生的。在这样的星系中,原子谱线冷却将重子碎片化为巨大的团块,这些团块被认为会直接坍缩成10^4 - 10^5个太阳质量的黑洞。我们现在已经发现,其中一些碎片可以变成超大质量恒星,最终爆炸为能量为~ 10^55尔格的对不稳定超新星,这是宇宙中能量最高的爆炸。我们用Los Alamos程序和SPECTRUM程序计算了超大质量Pop III PI SNe的光变曲线和光谱。我们发现,它们将在Euclid到z ~ 10 - 15以及WFIRST和WISH到z ~ 15 - 20的近红外全天空巡天中可见,这可能揭示了第一类类星体的诞生地。

英文摘要:

The existence of supermassive black holes as early as z ~ 7 is one of the great unsolved problems in cosmological structure formation. One leading theory argues that they are born during catastrophic baryon collapse in z ~ 15 protogalaxies in strong Lyman-Werner UV backgrounds. Atomic line cooling in such galaxies fragments baryons into massive clumps that are thought to directly collapse to 10^4 - 10^5 solar-mass black holes. We have now discovered that some of these fragments can instead become supermassive stars that eventually explode as pair-instability supernovae with energies of ~ 10^55 erg, the most energetic explosions in the universe. We have calculated light curves and spectra for supermassive Pop III PI SNe with the Los Alamos RAGE and SPECTRUM codes. We find that they will be visible in NIR all-sky surveys by Euclid out to z ~ 10 - 15 and by WFIRST and WISH out to z ~ 15 - 20, perhaps revealing the birthplaces of the first quasars.
