Tidal deformability of dressed black holes and tests of ultralight bosons in extended mass ranges
V. De Luca, P. Pani
The deformability of a compact object under the presence of a tidal perturbation is encoded in the tidal Love numbers (TLNs), which vanish for isolated black holes in vacuum. We sh…
Constraining the Initial Primordial Black Hole Clustering with CMB-distortion
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Riotto
The merger rate of primordial black holes depends on their initial clustering. In the absence of primordial non-Gaussianity correlating short and large-scales, primordial black hol…
Standard Model Baryon Number Violation Seeded by Black Holes
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, A. Kehagias +1
We show that black holes with a Schwarzschild radius of the order of the electroweak scale may act as seeds for the baryon number violation within the Standard model via sphaleron…
Bayesian Evidence for Both Astrophysical and Primordial Black Holes: Mapping the GWTC-2 Catalog to Third-Generation Detectors
V. De Luca, G. Franciolini, P. Pani +1
We perform a hierarchical Bayesian analysis of the GWTC-2 catalog to investigate the mixed scenario in which the merger events are explained by black holes of both astrophysical an…
