Direct Collapse to Precursors of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds:Radiation Feedback-Generated Outflows

We use high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulations to model outflow triggered by radiation and thermal drivers around the central mass accumulation during direct collapse within the dark matter (DM) halo. The maximal resolution is $1.3\times 10^{-5}$ pc, and no restrictions are put on the geometry of the inflow/outflow. The central mass is considered {\it prior} to the formation of the supermassive black hole seed at redshift of $z\sim 15.9$, and can constitute either a supermassive star (SMS) of $\sim 10^5\,M_\odot$ surrounded by growing accretion disk or a self-gravitating disk. The radiation transfer is modeled using the ray-tracing algorithm. Due to the high accretion rate of $\sim 1\,M_\odot\,{\rm yr^{-1}}$ determined by the DM halo, accretion is supercritical, resulting in supercritical luminosity which affects the inflow rate, with the duty cycle of $\sim 0.9$. We observe a fast development of hot cavities which quickly extend into polar funnels and expanding dense shells. Within the funnels, fast winds, $\sim 10^3\,{\rm km\,s^{-1}}$, are mass-loaded by the accreting gas. We follow the expanding shells to $\sim 1$ pc, when the shell velocity remains substantially, $\sim 5$ times, above the escape speed. The ionization cones formed by the central UV/X-ray flux extend to the halo virial radius, $R_{\rm h}$. Extrapolating the outflow properties shows that the halo material outside the shell will have difficulty to stop it. We therefore conclude that the expanding wind-driven shell will breakout of the central parsec and will reach $\sim R_{\rm h}$. Finally, the anisotropic accretion flow on sub-parsec scales will attenuate the soft X-rays effect on the H$_2$. Hence, formation of funnels and powerful outflows around, e.g., SMS, can have interesting observational corollaries, to be addressed elsewhere.Comment: 20 pages, 13 figures, submitted to Ap
