Chemistry and Radiative Feedback of Early Galaxies: Seeding the First Supermassive Black Holes

The abundance of molecular hydrogen (H2), the primary coolant in primordial gas, is critical for the thermodynamic evolution and star–formation histories in early protogalaxies. Suppression of H2–cooling in early protogalaxies can occur via photodissociation of H2 (by ultraviolet Lyman–Werner [LW] p...
