Superradiance and the Spins of Black Holes from LIGO and X-ray binaries
Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi, Stefano Profumo
Measurements of the spin of stellar mass black holes (BHs) are now possible both through LIGO observations of binary BH mergers and for BHs in X-ray binary systems. The spins of BH…
Unraveling the origin of black holes from effective spin measurements with LIGO-Virgo
Nicolas Fernandez, Stefano Profumo
We investigate how to use information on the effective spin parameter of binary black hole mergers from the LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave detections to discriminate the origin of t…
Stability, reheating and leptogenesis
Djuna Croon, Nicolas Fernandez, David McKeen +1
In a minimal model of leptogenesis, the observed baryon asymmetry is realized after high-scale reheating into the lightest sterile neutrino. We consider constraints on this scenari…
