Corrections to Hawking radiation from asteroid-mass primordial black holes: analytic and numerical evaluation of the stochastic charge effect

Gabriel Vasquez, Bowen Chen, Cara Nel +3

Hawking radiation sets stringent constraints on Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as a dark matter candidate in the g regime based on the evaporation products produced…

Resonant interactions from dynamical perturbers on generic orbits around an extreme mass ratio inspiral

Makana Silva, Harrison G. Blake-Goszyk, Christopher M. Hirata

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are binary systems where a compact object slowly inspirals into its much larger compact partner. Since we anticipate such systems to exist with…

Novel Methods for Simulating Astrophysical Plasmas and the Coherent Emission in Fast Radio Bursts

Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Patrick Kilian, Guangye Chen +4

We present particle-in-cell simulations of one dimensional relativistic electromagnetic shocks in a uniform magnetic field, for a range of magnetic field strengths, plasma temperat…

Corrections to Hawking radiation from asteroid-mass primordial black holes: Numerical evaluation of dissipative effects

Emily Koivu, John Kushan, Makana Silva +3

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are theorized objects that may make up some - or all - of the dark matter in the universe. At the lowest allowed masses, Hawking radiation (in the for…

White Dwarf-Black Hole Binary Progenitors of Low Redshift Gamma-ray Bursts

Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Jarrett L. Johnson, Phoebe R. Upton Sanderbeck +2

Although there is strong evidence that many long GRBs are associated with the collapse of a massive star, tantalizing results in recent years have upended the direct association of…

Corrections to Hawking radiation from asteroid-mass primordial black holes: description of the stochastic charge effect in quantum electrodynamics

Gabriel Vasquez, John Kushan, Makana Silva +3

Hawking radiation sets stringent constraints on Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as a dark matter candidate in the regime based on the evaporation produc…

Corrections to Hawking Radiation from Asteroid Mass Primordial Black Holes: I. Formalism of Dissipative Interactions in Quantum Electrodynamics

Makana Silva, Gabriel Vasquez, Emily Koivu +2

Primordial black holes (PBHs) within the mass range g are a favorable candidate for describing the all of the dark matter content. Towards the lower end of this…

Dynamical perturbations around an extreme mass ratio inspiral near resonance

Makana Silva, Christopher Hirata

Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) -- systems with a compact object orbiting a much more massive (e.g., galactic center) black hole -- are of interest both as a new probe of the…

Effect of dust in circumgalactic haloes on the cosmic shear power spectrum

Makana Silva, Christopher Hirata

Weak gravitational lensing is a powerful statistical tool for probing the growth of cosmic structure and measuring cosmological parameters. However, as shown by studies such as Mén…

A collective insight into the cultural and academic journeys of Native Hawaiians while pursuing careers in physics and astronomy

Heather Kaluna, Mailani Neal, Makana Silva +1

In the field of astronomy, Maunakea is known as a prestigious site for observing and science. In Native Hawaiian culture, Maunakea is revered as the connection between past, presen…

Revisiting constraints on asteroid-mass primordial black holes as dark matter candidates

Paulo Montero-Camacho, Xiao Fang, Gabriel Vasquez +2

As the only dark matter candidate that does not invoke a new particle that survives to the present day, primordial black holes (PBHs) have drawn increasing attention recently. Up t…
