Cooling and fragmentation of gas in rotating protogalaxies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dynamical, thermal, and chemical evolution of gas in protogalaxies with non-zero angular momentum is considered. It is shown that, in protogalaxies with a total mass (dark and baryonic) of M = 107 M⊙ at redshifts z = 12 whose gas has rotational angular momentum (spin parameter λ ≳ 0.005), a disk-like structure forms during the initial collapse of the galaxy, in contrast to non-rotating protogalaxies, whose collapse is spherically symmetric. The existence of initial angular momentumfor gas in protogalaxies increases the cooling time of the gas, delaying the formation of the first stars. Increasing the rotational angular momentum of the gas leads to cooling of the gas to lower temperatures (T < 100 K), at which HD molecules dominate in the cooling, while the total mass of cool gas (T < 1000 K) is decreased. The stability of disk-like structures in the central regions of protogalaxies is analyzed. It is shown that the disk that is formed is gravitationally unstable, and multiple fragmentation at various distances from the center is possible when the initial rotational angular momentum of the protogalaxy is increased. The possible birth of several stars in the first protogalaxies is discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
