On the Formation and Interaction of Multiple Supermassive Stars in Cosmological Flows
Supermassive primordial stars with masses exceeding ∼10 ^5 M _⊙ that form in atomically cooled halos are the leading candidates for the origin of high-redshift quasars at z > 6. Recent numerical simulations, however, find that multiple accretion disks can form within a halo, each of which can pot...
