英文摘要 | It has been proposed that the first, intermediate-mass ( approximate to 10(5-6) M-circle dot) black holes might form through direct collapse of unpolluted gas in atomic-cooling haloes exposed to a strong Lyman-Werner (LW) or near-infrared (NIR) radiation. As these systems are expected to be Compton thick, photons above 13.6 eV are largely absorbed and reprocessed into lower energy bands. It follows that direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) are very bright in the LW/NIR bands, typically outshining small high-redshift galaxies by more than 10 times. Once the first DCBHs form, they then trigger a runaway process of further DCBH formation, producing a sudden rise in their cosmic mass density. The universe enters the 'DCBH era' at z approximate to 20 when a large fraction of atomic-cooling haloes are experiencing DCBH formation. By combining the clustering properties of the radiation sources with Monte Carlo simulations, we show that in this scenario the DCBH mass density rises from similar to 5 M-circle dot Mpc(-3) at z similar to 30 to the peak value similar to 5 x 10(5) M-circle dot Mpc(-3) at z similar to 14 in our fiducial model. However, the abundance of active (accreting) DCBHs drops after z similar to 14, as gas in the potential formation sites (unpolluted haloes with virial temperature slightly above 10(4) K) is photoevaporated. This effect almost completely suppresses DCBH formation after z similar to 13. The DCBH formation era lasts only approximate to 150 Myr, but it might crucially provide the seeds of the supermassive black holes powering z similar to 6 quasars. |
