Self-Similar Mass Spectra of Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers
Liam Blum, Stefano Profumo, Ryan Schantz +1
Black holes that merge repeatedly carry a record of that history in their mass distribution. We treat hierarchical merging as a coagulation problem, in which a single kernel encode…
G objects as Primordial Black Hole-Neutron Star Remnants: Population Modeling and Multi-Wavelength Observables
David Morales-Zapien, Stefano Profumo
The nature of the so-called G objects orbiting the Galactic Center remains unresolved. These sources exhibit compact Br emission, extreme infrared colors, and remarkable dynamic…
What Are Pulsar Companions Made of? Using Gravitational Tides to Probe Their Compositions
Liam Colombo-Murphy, Lucas Brown, Stefano Profumo +2
Low eccentricity, short orbital period pulsar companions may provide a probe to study novel dense and stable exoplanet internal compositions due to the potentially significant orbi…
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…
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…
The Maximal Gravitational Wave Signal from Asteroid-Mass Primordial Black Hole Mergers At Resonant Microwave Cavities
Stefano Profumo, Lucas Brown, Christopher Ewasiuk +2
Primordial black holes can be the entirety of the dark matter in a broad, approximately five-orders-of-magnitude-wide mass range, the ``asteroid mass range'', between $10^{-16}\ M_…
