The Formation of Very Massive Stars in Early Galaxies and Implications for Intermediate Mass Black Holes

We investigate the ab-initio formation of super-massive stars in a pristine atomic cooling halo. The halo is extracted from a larger self-consistent parent simulation. The halo remains metal-free and star formation is suppressed due to a combination of dynamical heating from mergers and a mild ($J_{...
