The Threshold for Primordial Black Hole Formation: a Simple Analytic Prescription
Ilia Musco, Valerio De Luca, Gabriele Franciolini +1
Primordial black holes could have been formed in the early universe from non linear cosmological perturbations re-entering the cosmological horizon when the Universe was still radi…
The Clustering Evolution of Primordial Black Holes
V. De Luca, V. Desjacques, G. Franciolini +1
Primordial black holes might comprise a significant fraction of the dark matter in the Universe and be responsible for the gravitational wave signals from black hole mergers observ…
NANOGrav Hints to Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto
The NANOGrav Collaboration has recently published a strong evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum process that may be interpreted as a stochastic gravitational wave background.…
The Importance of Priors on LIGO-Virgo Parameter Estimation: the Case of Primordial Black Holes
S. Bhagwat, V. De Luca, G. Franciolini +2
The black holes detected by current and future interferometers can have diverse origins. Their expected mass and spin distributions depend on the specifics of the formation mechani…
Primordial Black Holes Confront LIGO/Virgo data: Current situation
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
The LIGO and Virgo Interferometers have so far provided 11 gravitational-wave (GW) observations of black-hole binaries. Similar detections are bound to become very frequent in the…
The Evolution of Primordial Black Holes and their Final Observable Spins
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
Primordial black holes in the mass range of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors can comprise a significant fraction of the dark matter. Mass and spin measurements from coales…
