Magnetic Braking during Direct Collapse Black Hole Formation
Magnetic fields are expected to be efficiently amplified during the formation of the first massive black holes via the small-scale dynamo and in the presence of strong accretion shocks occurring during gravitational collapse. Here, we analyze high-resolution cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simula...
