Backwards Gamma-Ray Bursts: Searching for Exploding Primordial Black Holes in Short-Duration GRB Catalogs
Stefano Profumo, Kally Wen
We present a systematic search for signatures of terminal black-hole evaporation in short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) catalogs. An exploding primordial black hole (PBH) undergoing final…
Chemical and Kinetic Equilibrium in Cosmology: Facts and Myths
Stefano Profumo
We clarify that chemical and kinetic equilibration in the early Universe are distinct: neither implies the other, and the ordering of their decouplings need not be universal. We il…
A Multi-Wavelength Survey of Transient Lensing Opportunities for Primordial Black Hole Searches
Stefano Profumo
Gravitational lensing of short astrophysical transients provides a uniquely direct avenue for searching for primordial black holes (PBHs) across a vast range of masses. While past…
Precision gravity constraints on large dark sectors
Christopher Ewasiuk, Stefano Profumo
General relativity, treated as a low energy effective field theory, predicts quantum corrections to Newtons law of gravitation arising from loops of matter and graviton fields. Whi…
Primordial Black Holes and the First Stars
Julia Monika Koulen, Stefano Profumo, Nolan Smyth
Primordial black holes (PBHs) constitute a compelling dark matter candidate whose gravitational effects could significantly influence early cosmic structure formation. We investiga…
Dark-sector modifications to Kerr and Reissner-Nordstrom black hole evaporation
Christopher Ewasiuk, Stefano Profumo
We present a comprehensive comparative analysis of the evaporation dynamics of Schwarzschild, Kerr, and Reissner- Nordstrom black holes, focusing on the evolution of their mass, ch…
