An accurate model for the primordial black hole mass distribution from a peak in the power spectrum
Andrew D. Gow, Christian T. Byrnes, Alex Hall
We examine the shape of the primordial black hole mass distribution arising from a peak in the primordial power spectrum. In light of improvements to the modelling, we revisit the…
Bayesian analysis of LIGO-Virgo mergers: Primordial vs. astrophysical black hole populations
Alex Hall, Andrew D. Gow, Christian T. Byrnes
We conduct a thorough Bayesian analysis of the possibility that the black hole merger events seen in gravitational waves are primordial black hole (PBH) mergers. Using the latest m…
The power spectrum on small scales: Robust constraints and comparing PBH methodologies
Andrew D. Gow, Christian T. Byrnes, Philippa S. Cole +1
We compare primordial black hole (PBH) constraints on the power spectrum and mass distributions using the traditional Press Schechter formalism, peaks theory, and a recently develo…
