Observational evidence for cosmological coupling of black holes and its implications for an astrophysical source of dark energy

Duncan Farrah, Kevin S. Croker, Gregory Tarlé +16

Observations have found black holes spanning ten orders of magnitude in mass across most of cosmic history. The Kerr black hole solution is however provisional as its behavior at i…

A Preferential Growth Channel for Supermassive Black Holes in Elliptical Galaxies at z<2

Duncan Farrah, Sara Petty, Kevin Croker +12

The assembly of stellar and supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass in elliptical galaxies since can help to diagnose the origins of locally-observed correlations between SMBH…

Cosmologically coupled compact objects: a single parameter model for LIGO--Virgo mass and redshift distributions

Kevin S. Croker, Michael J. Zevin, Duncan Farrah +2

We demonstrate a single-parameter route for reproducing higher mass objects as observed in the LIGO--Virgo mass distribution, using only the isolated binary stellar evolution chann…

Radio Detection of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays with Low Lunar Orbiting SmallSats

Andrés Romero-Wolf, Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Luis A. Anchordoqui +15

Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are the most energetic particles observed and serve as a probe of the extreme universe. A key question to understanding the violent processes…

Implications of Symmetry and Pressure in Friedmann Cosmology. II. Stellar Remnant Black Hole Mass Function

Kevin Croker, Kurtis Nishimura, Duncan Farrah

We consider some observational consequences of replacing all black holes (BHs) with a class of non-singular solutions that mimic BHs but with Dark Energy (DE) interiors; GEneric Ob…
