Cosmic microwave background limits on accreting primordial black holes

Y Ali-Haïmoud, M Kamionkowski - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Interest in the idea that primordial black holes (PBHs) might comprise some or all of the dark
matter has recently been rekindled following LIGO's first direct detection of a binary-black …

A small amount of mini-charged dark matter could cool the baryons in the early Universe

JB Muñoz, A Loeb - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The dynamics of our Universe is strongly influenced by pervasive—albeit elusive—dark
matter, with a total mass about five times the mass of all the baryons,. Despite this, its origin …

Aspects of the dark dimension in cosmology

LA Anchordoqui, I Antoniadis, D Lüst - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
It was recently understood that if the swampland conjectures are confronted to experiment
they naturally point to a solution of the cosmological hierarchy problem in which the …

Cosmology of atomic dark matter

FY Cyr-Racine, K Sigurdson - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2013 - APS
While, to ensure successful cosmology, dark matter (DM) must kinematically decouple from
the standard model plasma very early in the history of the Universe, it can remain coupled to …

Strong constraints on light dark matter interpretation of the EDGES signal

R Barkana, NJ Outmezguine, D Redigolo, T Volansky - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Recently the EDGES collaboration reported an anomalous absorption signal in the sky-
averaged 21-cm spectrum around z= 17. Such a signal may be understood as an indication …
