Early Structure Formation
Tom Abel (Stanford ) - May 2 at 12:00 noon
Numerical simulations now allow for the study of the formation of
the very first luminous objects. Isolated very massive stars are predicted
from these ab initio calculations to be the first dense baryonic objects to
form in the universe. During their life and death they have a profound
impact on subsequent structure formation. In this talk I will summarize how
these conclusions are arrived at and the many new open questions arising
from these studies.
The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
