A possible route is enhanced HD cooling during the merging of dark-matter haloes. The mergers can lead to a high ionization degree catalysing the formation of HD molecules and may cool the gas down to the cosmic microwave background temperature. In this paper, we investigate the merging of mini-haloes with masses of a few 10(5) M-aS (TM) and explore the feasibility of this scenario. We have performed three-dimensional cosmological hydrodynamics calculations with the enzo code, solving the thermal and chemical evolution of the gas by employing the astrochemistry package krome. Our results show that the HD abundance is increased by two orders of magnitude compared to the no-merging case and the halo cools down to similar to 60 K triggering fragmentation. Based on Jeans estimates, the expected stellar masses are about 10 M-aS (TM).

A central question concerns their final masses, and whether fragmentation occurs during their formation. While studies employing Lagrangian codes suggest fragmentation via a self-gravitating disk, recent high-resolution simulations indicated that disk formation is suppressed. Here we report the first high-resolution large-eddy simulations performed with the Eulerian grid-based code Enzo following the evolution beyond the formation of the first peak to investigate the accretion of the central massive clump and potential fragmentation. For a total of three halos, we see that a disk forms around the first clump. The central clump reaches similar to 10 solar masses after 40 yr, while subsequent accretion is expected at a rate of 10(-2) solar masses per year. In one of these halos, additional clumps form as a result of fragmentation which proceeds at larger scales. We note that subgrid-scale (SGS) turbulence yields relevant contributions to the stability of the protostellar disks. Both with and without the SGS model, the disk evolution appears rather stable during the timescale considered here.

However, it is not entirely clear if these clumps will be able to survive to form multiple stars as simulations are unable to follow the disc evolution for longer times. In this study, we employ a simple analytical model to derive the properties of marginally stable steady-state discs. Our results show that the stability of the disc depends on the critical value of the viscous parameter alpha. For alpha(crit) = 1, the disc is stable for an accretion rate of <= 10(-3) M-circle dot yr(-1) and becomes unstable at radii about >= 100 au in the presence of an accretion rate of 10(-2) M-circle dot yr(-1). For 0.06 < alpha(crit) < 1, the disc can be unstable for both accretion rates. The comparison of the migration and the Kelvin-Helmholtz time-scales shows that clumps are expected to migrate inwards before reaching the main sequence. Furthermore, in the presence of a massive central star, the clumps within the central 1 au will be tidally disrupted. We also find that UV feedback from the central star is unable to disrupt the disc, and that photoevaporation becomes important only once the accretion rate has dropped to 2 x 10(-4) M-circle dot yr(-1).

In this study, we compute the critical value of such a flux (J(21)(crit)) for realistic spectra of Pop II stars through three-dimensional cosmological simulations. We derive the dependence of J(21)(crit) on the radiation spectra, on variations from halo to halo, and on the impact of X-ray ionization. Our findings show that the value of J(21)(crit) is a few times 10(4) and only weakly depends on the adopted radiation spectra in the range between T-rad = 2 x 10(4) and 10(5) K.

In this paper, we study the amplification and impact of magnetic fields during the formation of seed black holes in massive primordial haloes. We perform high-resolution cosmological magnetohydrodynamic simulations for four distinct haloes and follow their collapse for a few free-fall times until the simulations reach a peak density of 7 x 10(-10) g cm(-3). Our findings show that irrespective of the initial seed field, the magnetic field strength reaches a saturated state in the presence of strong accretion shocks. Under such conditions, the growth time becomes very short and amplification occurs rapidly within a small fraction of the free-fall time. We find that the presence of such strong magnetic fields provides additional support against gravity and helps in suppressing fragmentation. Massive clumps of a few hundred solar masses are formed at the end of our simulations and high accretion rates of 1 M-circle dot yr(-1) are observed. We expect that in the presence of such accretion rates, the clumps will grow to form supermassive stars of similar to 10(5) M-circle dot.
