Constraints on primordial black holes

B Carr, K Kohri, Y Sendouda… - Reports on Progress in …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We update the constraints on the fraction of the Universe that may have gone into primordial
black holes (PBHs) over the mass range 10− 5 to 10 50 g. Those smaller than∼ 10 15 g …

Primordial black holes as dark matter: recent developments

B Carr, F Kühnel - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Although the dark matter is usually assumed to be made up of some form of elementary
particle, primordial black holes (PBHs) could also provide some of it. However, various …

Recent gravitational wave observation by pulsar timing arrays and primordial black holes: The importance of non-Gaussianities

G Franciolini, AJ Iovino, V Vaskonen, H Veermäe - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We study whether the signal seen by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) may originate from
gravitational waves (GWs) induced by large primordial perturbations. Such perturbations …

Primordial black holes as dark matter

B Carr, F Kühnel, M Sandstad - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
The possibility that the dark matter comprises primordial black holes (PBHs) is considered,
with particular emphasis on the currently allowed mass windows at 1 0 16–1 0 17 g, 1 0 20 …

Did LIGO detect dark matter?

S Bird, I Cholis, JB Muñoz, Y Ali-Haïmoud… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
We consider the possibility that the black-hole (BH) binary detected by LIGO may be a
signature of dark matter. Interestingly enough, there remains a window for masses 20 M⊙≲ …

Intermediate-mass black holes

JE Greene, J Strader, LC Ho - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We describe ongoing searches for intermediate-mass black holes with M BH≈ 10–105 M⊙.
We review a range of search mechanisms, both dynamical and those that rely on accretion …
