Forecasting the sensitivity of Pulsar Timing Arrays to gravitational wave backgrounds
Stanislav Babak, Mikel Falxa, Gabriele Franciolini +1
Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) observations hinted towards the existence of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) in the nHz frequency band. Still, the nature of the SGWB si…
Beyond the far side: Observing black hole mergers beyond the pair-instability mass gap with next-generation gravitational wave detectors
Gabriele Franciolini, Konstantinos Kritos, Luca Reali +2
Stellar evolution predicts the existence of a mass gap for black hole remnants produced by pair-instability supernova dynamics, whose lower and upper edges are very uncertain. We s…
Renormalized Primordial Black Holes
Gabriele Franciolini, Andrea Ianniccari, Alex Kehagias +2
The formation of primordial black holes in the early universe may happen through the collapse of large curvature perturbations generated during a non-attractor phase of inflation o…
Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures
Eleni Bagui, Sebastien Clesse, Valerio De Luca +17
In the recent years, primordial black holes (PBHs) have emerged as one of the most interesting and hotly debated topics in cosmology. Among other possibilities, PBHs could explain…
What is the source of the PTA GW signal?
John Ellis, Malcolm Fairbairn, Gabriele Franciolini +7
The most conservative interpretation of the nHz stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) discovered by NANOGrav and other Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) Collaborations is astroph…
Scalar-induced gravitational wave interpretation of PTA data: the role of scalar fluctuation propagation speed
Shyam Balaji, Guillem Domènech, Gabriele Franciolini
Pulsar timing arrays gathered evidence of the presence of a gravitational wave background around nHz frequencies. If the gravitational wave background was induced by large and Gaus…
