Abstract

Massive and super-massive black-holes (BH) can be found in the center of all galaxies, according to the opinion from the scientific community. However, an open question is to know the origin of such BHs. One explanation is to consider such objects coming from the stars with large redshifts—very old stars collapsed during the ancient eras (population-III stars: the first-born stars created in the universe). A framework to investigate this scenario is to derive a mathematical model describing the evolution of the black hole distribution. From nowadays, observations show super-massive black holes with mass about 109M⊙ are ubiquitous in galaxy centers. The regularized inverse solution can be computed using an optimizer to identify the best solution for the functional to be minimized. Preliminary results are shown using synthetic observational data.
