Impact of gas spin and Lyman–Werner flux on black hole seed formation in cosmological simulations: implications for direct collapse

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p>Direct collapse black holes (BHs) are promising candidates for producing massive z ≳ 6 quasars, but their formation requires fine-tuned conditions. In this work, we use cosmological zoom simulations to study systematically t...
