Primordial black holes captured by neutron stars: relativistic point-mass treatment
arXiv:2404.08735 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.109.123012
Abstract
Primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist, may collide with and be captured by neutron stars. We adopt a relativistic point-mass approximation to study this capture, the subsequent confinement of the PBH of mass inside the neutron star of mass , and the PBH's growth by accretion of stellar material. Building on earlier treatments we systematically study the capture, confinement, and accretion process, characterize the emitted quasiperiodic continuous gravitational-wave signal, track the evolution of the PBH's orbital parameters, and compare the effects of different choices for the prescription of the dissipative forces. Our point-mass treatment here is applicable in the limit of small PBH masses, for which its effects on the neutron star can be ignored.
