Supermassive Black hole seeds from direct collapse (aka quasi-stars) | |||||

Abstract |
I will review a specific formation model for supermassive black holes, observed at the centre of most galaxies. This model argues that supermassive black holes were formed from the collapse of gas, funneled from large galactic scales to the centre of proto-galaxies. In my talk, I will particularly focus on the physical conditions that should be present in order to form directly an intermediate mass black hole. I will show that these conditions constrain the halo mass in which a massive seed black hole can be formed. |
