Waves from the Centre: Probing PBH and other Macroscopic Dark Matter with LISA
Florian Kuhnel, Andrew Matas, Glenn D. Starkman +1
A significant fraction of cosmological dark matter can be formed by very dense macroscopic objects, for example primordial black holes. Gravitational waves offer a promising way to…
