Formation of supermassive black hole seeds in nuclear star clusters via gas accretion and runaway collisions
More than 200 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of masses ≳109M⊙≳109M⊙ have been discovered at z ≳ 6. One promising pathway for the formation of SMBHs is through the collapse of supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses ∼103−105M⊙∼103−105M⊙ into seed black holes which could grow upto few times 109M⊙109M⊙...
