In the pre-reionization Universe, the regions of the inter-galactic medium (IGM) which are far from luminous sources are the last to undergo reionization. Until then, they should be scarcely affected by stellar radiation; instead, the X-ray emission from an early black hole (BH) population can have much larger influence. We investigate the effects of such emission, looking at a number of BH model populations (differing for the cosmological density evolution of BHs, the BH properties, and the spectral energy distribution of the BH emission). We find that BH radiation can easily heat the IGM to 10^3-10^4 K, while achieving partial ionization. The most interesting consequence of this heating is that BHs are expected to induce a 21-cm signal (delta T_b ~ 20-30 mK at z<~12) which should be observable with forthcoming experiments (e.g. LOFAR). We also find that at z<~10 BH emission strongly increases the critical mass separating star-forming and non-star-forming halos.

We investigate the properties of accretion flows onto a black hole (BH) with a mass of $M_{rm BH}$ embedded in an initially uniform gas cloud with a density of $n_{infty}$ in order to study rapid growth of BHs in the early Universe. In previous work,
the conditions for super-Eddington accretion from outside the Bondi radius were studied by assuming that radiation produced at the vicinity of the central BH has a single-power-law spectrum $ u^{-alpha}$ at $h u geq 13.6~{rm eV}$ ($alpha sim 1.5$). However, radiation spectra depends on the BH mass and accretion rate. Here, we perform two-dimensional multi-frequency radiation hydrodynamical simulations taking into account more realistic radiation spectra associated with the properties of nuclear accretion disks. We find that the condition for a transition to super-Eddington accretion is alleviated for a wide range of masses ($10lesssim M_{rm BH}/M_{odot} lesssim 10^6$) because photoionization for accretion disk spectra are less efficient than those for single-power-law spectra. For disk spectra, the transition to super-Eddington is more likely to occur for lower BH masses because the radiation spectra become too hard to ionize the gas. Even when accretion flows are exposed to anisotropic radiation, the effect due to radiation spectra shrinks the ionized region and likely leads to the transition to a wholly neutral accretion phase. Finally, by generalizing our simulation results, we construct a new analytical criterion required for super-Eddington accretion; $(M_{rm BH}/10^5~M_{odot}) (n_{infty}/10^4~{rm cm^{-3}}) gtrsim 2.4~ (langleepsilonrangle /100~{rm eV})^{-5/9}$, where $langleepsilonrangle$ is the mean energy of ionizing radiation from the central BH.
The Unruhs thermal state in the vicinity of the event horizon of the black hole provides conditions where impinging particles can radiate other particles. The subsequent decays may eventually lead to observable radiation of photons and neutrinos indu
ced even by massive particles with gravitational interaction only. The hadronic particles will induce $sim 30$ MeV gamma radiation from $pi^{0}$ decays.
We introduce massive black holes (BHs) in the Feedback In Realistic Environments project and perform high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of quasar-mass halos ($M_{rm halo}(z=2) approx 10^{12.5},rm{M}_{odot}$) down to $z=1$. These si
mulations model stellar feedback by supernovae, stellar winds, and radiation, and BH growth using a gravitational torque-based prescription tied to resolved properties of galactic nuclei. We do not include BH feedback. We show that early BH growth occurs through short ($lesssim 1,$Myr) accretion episodes that can reach or even exceed the Eddington rate. In this regime, BH growth is limited by bursty stellar feedback continuously evacuating gas from galactic nuclei, and BHs remain under-massive relative to the local $M_{rm BH}$-$M_{rm bulge}$ relation. BH growth is more efficient at later times, when the nuclear stellar potential retains a significant gas reservoir, star formation becomes less bursty, and galaxies settle into a more ordered state, with BHs rapidly converging onto the scaling relation when the host reaches $M_{rm bulge} sim 10^{10},rm{M}_{odot}$. Our results are not sensitive to the details of the accretion model so long as BH growth is tied to the gas content within $sim 100,$pc of the BH. Our simulations imply that bursty stellar feedback has strong implications for BH and AGN demographics, especially in the early Universe and for low-mass galaxies.
A mechanism of creation of stellar-like objects in the very early universe, from the QCD phase transition till BBN and somewhat later, is studied. It is argued that in the considered process primordial black holes with masses above a few solar masses
up to super-heavy ones could be created. This may explain an early quasar creation with evolved chemistry in surrounding medium and the low mass cutoff of the observed black holes. It is also shown that dense primordial stars can be created at the considered epoch. Such stars could later become very early supernovae and in particular high redshift gamma-bursters. In a version of the model some of the created objects can consist of antimatter.
We present precision calculations of dark radiation in the form of gravitons coming from Hawking evaporation of spinning primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early Universe. Our calculation incorporates a careful treatment of extended spin distributi
ons of a population of PBHs, the PBH reheating temperature, and the number of relativistic degrees of freedom. We compare our precision results with those existing in the literature, and show constraints on PBHs from current bounds on dark radiation from BBN and the CMB, as well as the projected sensitivity of CMB Stage 4 experiments. As an application, we consider the case of PBHs formed during an early matter-dominated era (EMDE). We calculate graviton production from various PBH spin distributions pertinent to EMDEs, and find that PBHs in the entire mass range up to $10^9,$g will be constrained by measurements from CMB Stage 4 experiments, assuming PBHs come to dominate the Universe prior to Hawking evaporation. We also find that for PBHs with monochromatic spins $a^*>0.81$, all PBH masses in the range $10^{-1},{rm g} < M_{rm BH} <10^9,$g will be probed by CMB Stage 4 experiments.
