FORMATION OF MASSIVE BLACK HOLES. “Most of the accreted matter originates from the parent filament, a major merger and several minor halo mergers. This rapid convergence of matter below the atomic-cooling limit is a prediction of the standard cold dark-matter paradigm, and in conflict with cosmologies that suppress power below the atomic-cooling limit. Nevertheless, rapid convergence is rare, occurring in only about 0.03% of haloes with similar masses and that exist in an large-scale overdense environment.” Worth the effort!
