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 a dark matter candidate

AM Green, BJ Kavanagh - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The detection of gravitational waves from mergers of tens of Solar mass black hole binaries
has led to a surge in interest in primordial black holes (PBHs) as a dark matter candidate …

Primordial black hole dark matter and the LIGO/Virgo observations

K Jedamzik - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The LIGO/Virgo collaboration have by now detected the mergers of ten black hole binaries
via the emission of gravitational radiation. The hypothesis that these black holes have …

Near future MeV telescopes can discover asteroid-mass primordial black hole dark matter

A Ray, R Laha, JB Muñoz, R Caputo - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Primordial black holes (PBHs), formed out of large overdensities in the early Universe, are a
viable dark matter (DM) candidate over a broad range of masses. Ultralight, asteroid-mass …

Log-dependent slope of scalar induced gravitational waves in the infrared regions

C Yuan, ZC Chen, QG Huang - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We analytically calculate the scalar induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) and find a log-
dependent slope of SIGW in the infrared regions (f< fc), namely n GW (f)= 3-2/ln (fc/f), and n …

Primordial black holes: From theory to gravitational wave observations

G Franciolini - arxiv preprint arxiv:2110.06815, 2021 - arxiv.org
Primordial Black Holes (PBH) can form in the early universe and might comprise a
significant fraction of the dark matter. Interestingly, they are accompanied by the generation …

Search for gravitational waves from high-mass-ratio compact-binary mergers of stellar mass and subsolar mass black holes

AH Nitz, YF Wang - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We present the first search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of stellar mass and
subsolar mass black holes with masses between 20–100 M⊙ and 0.01–1 M⊙(10–10 3 MJ) …

Cross-correlation of the astrophysical gravitational-wave background with galaxy clustering

G Cañas-Herrera, O Contigiani, V Vardanyan - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We investigate the correlation between the distribution of galaxies and the predicted
gravitational-wave background of astrophysical origin. We show that the large angular scale …

Detecting subsolar-mass primordial black holes in extreme mass-ratio inspirals with LISA and Einstein Telescope

S Barsanti, V De Luca, A Maselli, P Pani - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Primordial black holes possibly formed in the early Universe could provide a significant
fraction of the dark matter and would be unique probes of inflation. A smoking gun for their …

Constraining changes in the merger history of BH and PBH binaries with the stochastic gravitational wave background

V Atal, JJ Blanco-Pillado, A Sanglas, N Triantafyllou - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Black holes binaries coming from a distribution of primordial black holes might exhibit a
large merger rate up to large redshifts. Using a phenomenological model for the merger rate …
