PBH formation from overdensities in delayed vacuum transitions
Kiyoharu Kawana, TaeHun Kim, Philip Lu
Primordial black hole (PBH) formation from first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) combines two prevalent elements of beyond the Standard Model physics with wide-ranging consequences…
Signatures of a High Temperature QCD Transition in the Early Universe
Philip Lu, Volodymyr Takhistov, George M. Fuller
Beyond Standard Model extensions of QCD could result in quark and gluon confinement occurring well above a temperature of GeV. These models can also alter the order of the QC…
Late-Forming PBH: Beyond the CMB era
Philip Lu, Kiyoharu Kawana, Alexander Kusenko
The intermediate mass black hole range, , has long offered enticing possibilities for primordial black holes (PBH), with popula…
First-order phase transition and fate of false vacuum remnants
Kiyoharu Kawana, Philip Lu, Ke-Pan Xie
False vacuum remnants in first-order phase transitions in the early Universe can form compact objects which may constitute dark matter. Such remnants form because particles develop…
The Lick Observatory Supernova Search follow-up program: photometry data release of 70 stripped-envelope supernovae
WeiKang Zheng, Benjamin E. Stahl, Thomas de Jaeger +85
We present BVRI and unfiltered Clear light curves of 70 stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe), observed between 2003 and 2020, from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) foll…
Old Phase Remnants in First Order Phase Transitions
Philip Lu, Kiyoharu Kawana, Ke-Pan Xie
First order phase transitions (FOPTs) are usually described by the nucleation and expansion of new phase bubbles in the old phase background. While the dynamics of new phase bubble…
