Extended Data Fig. 4: Gas temperature projection for PopIII star formation, supernova feedback, and BH feedback for the most massive BH in the L15_BHFB simulations.
From: The growth of light seed black holes in the early Universe
a, b, c: Gas collapses to form cold galaxies in hot cosmic filaments. Within these galaxies, PopIII star formation occurs. d: The first PopIII star transitions to a BH and accretes the surrounding mass, simultaneously injecting thermal energy back into the gas. This thermal energy causes the galaxy to be distorted. e: The galaxy eventually reassembles triggering a second epoch of star formation. f: SNe from PopIII stars and BH thermal feedback heats up the gas to 105 K, which halts further BH growth and star formation.
