Thermal and chemical evolution of primordial gas clouds irradiated with far-ultraviolet (FUV; < 13.6 eV) radiation is investigated. In clouds irradiated by intense FUV radiation, sufficient hydrogen molecules to be important for cooling are never formed. However, even without molecular hydrogen, if the clouds are massive enough, they start collapsing via atomic hydrogen line cooling. Such clouds continue to collapse almost isothermally owing to successive cooling by H^{-} free-bound emission up to the number density of 10^{16} cm^{-3}. Inside the clouds, the Jeans mass eventually falls well below a solar mass. This indicates that hydrogen molecules are dispensable for low-mass primordial star formation, provided fragmentation of the clouds occurs at sufficiently high density.

BlackTHUNDER Reveals a Massive Filament around a Compact AGN at $z\simeq5.23$
GN-77652, a compact broad-line AGN at z=5.229, lies beside a 12 kpc multi-source filament at the same redshift whose coalescence will erase the compact AGN appearance within ~150–440 Myr.

Fuzzy dark matter soliton core hosting a supermassive black hole as a dense low-mass perturber in strong gravitational lensing
A soliton core of fuzzy dark matter, compressed by an embedded supermassive black hole, reproduces the observed mass profile of the ~10^6 Msun perturber in JVAS B1938+666 for FDM mass ~3.6e-21 eV and subhalo mass ~7e6 Msun.

Direct Collapse Black Hole Candidates from Decaying Dark Matter
Axion dark matter decay injects 1-13.6 eV photons that suppress H2, enabling atomic cooling halos and direct collapse black hole seeds for axion masses 24.5-26.5 eV and couplings down to 4e-12/GeV.

Ultraviolet diversity of Little Red Dots as a probe for direct-collapse black hole ages
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations predict that UV diversity in Little Red Dots encodes direct-collapse black hole ages via a rapid transition from BH- to stellar-dominated emission after ~30 Myr.
