Context. Primordial black holes (PBHs) have been proposed as potential candidates for dark matter (DM) and have garnered significant attention in recent years. Aims. Our objective is to delve into the distinct impact of PBHs on gas properties and their potential role in shaping the cosmic structure. Specifically, we aim to analyze the evolving gas properties while considering the presence of accreting PBHs with varying monochromatic masses and in different quantities. By studying the feedback effects produced by this accretion, our final goal is to assess the plausibility of PBHs as candidates for DM. Methods. We develop a semi-analytical model which works on top of the CIELO hydrodynamical simulation around $z\sim23$. This model enables a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of gas properties influenced by PBHs. Our focus lies on the temperature and hydrogen abundances, placing specific emphasis on the region closest to the halo center. We explore PBH masses of $1$, $33$, and $100~\Msun$, located within mass windows where a substantial fraction of DM could exist in the form of PBHs. We investigate various DM fractions composed of these PBHs ($f_{\rm{PBH}}>10^{-4}$). Results. Our findings suggest that the existence of PBHs with masses of $1~\Msun$ and fractions greater than or equal to approximately $10^{-2}$ would be ruled out due to the significant changes induced in gas properties. The same applies to PBHs with a mass of $33~\Msun$ and $100~\Msun$ and fractions greater than approximately $10^{-3}$. These effects are particularly pronounced in the region nearest to the halo center, potentially leading to delayed galaxy formation within haloes.
Testing primordial non-Gaussianities on galactic scales at high redshift
原始非高斯性提供了暴胀模型的一个重要检验。虽然普朗克宇宙微波背景实验对星系团尺度上的非高斯性产生了很强的限制,但在星系尺度上仍有相当大的非高斯性空间。我们已经测试了本地的非高斯高红移星系人口的影响,运行5个宇宙学N体模拟到z=6.5。对于这些模拟,我们采用相同的初始相位,以及高斯或尺度相关的非高斯原始波动,所有这些都与普朗克对集群尺度的约束一致。然后,我们使用Behroozi et al.(2013)的晕-恒星质量经验关系为每个晕分配恒星质量。我们的模拟与非高斯初始条件产生晕质量函数,显示出明显的偏离从类似的模拟与高斯初始条件在z>~10。我们观察到一个>0.3 dex的增强低端的晕质量函数,这导致了类似的影响星系恒星质量函数,这应该是测试未来的星系调查在z>10。由于宇宙再电离被认为是由高红移的矮星系驱动的,我们的发现可能对宇宙的再电离历史有影响。

Seeding High Redshift QSOs by Collisional Runaway in Primordial Star Clusters
我们研究如何失控的恒星碰撞高红移,贫金属星团形成非常大质量的恒星(VMSs),可以直接崩溃到中等质量的黑洞(IMBHs)。我们遵循一对相邻的高红移迷你晕的演化与高分辨率,宇宙学流体动力学放大模拟使用自适应网格细化代码RAMSES结合非平衡化学包KROME。第一个坍缩的小晕被认为是将另一个的中央核星团(NSC)富集到临界金属丰度,足以形成红移为$z\approx27$的星族II(Pop. II)恒星。使用的空间配置的扁平,不对称的气体云形成的核心的金属富集晕,我们设置的初始条件,模拟一个最初的非球形星团的直接求和代码NBODY6相比,约2000 NBODY6模拟球形星团的广泛的星团参数。最终形成的VMS的质量很大程度上取决于NSC的初始质量和初始中心密度。对于我们的RAMSES模拟建议的初始中心密度,质量> 400 M $_{\odot}$的VMS可以在恒星质量为$\approx10^4$ M $_{\odot}$的星团中形成,并且对于更大质量和更密集的星团,这可以增加到远超过1000 M $_{\odot}$。我们发现在这样一个早期的宇宙时间在这些小晕中形成VMS的概率很高,这使得Pop.II星团的碰撞失控成为产生大量高红移IMBH的一个有希望的通道,这些IMBH可能作为超大质量黑洞的种子。
