Formation of population III stars and galaxies with primordial planetary-mass black holes

Description

Primordial black holes in the mass range 1015g< or approx. =m/sub b//sub h/< or approx. =1033 g are candidates for the nonbaryonic dark halo matter. This paper explores the evolution of perturbations associated with these planetary-mass black holes. Clusters of black holes and baryonic matter of mass 104M/sub sun/< or approx. =M< or approx. =107 M/sub sun/ are shown to form at redshifts 5< or approx. =z< or approx. =100. Explosions of these objects may lead to galaxy formation via the Ostriker-Cowie mechanism. Thus the spontaneous generation of primordial planetary-mass black holes may subsequently produce galaxies
