GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
Memoirs of the curvaton: non-perturbative non-Gaussianity and supermassive primordial black holes
S. Allegrini, A. J. Iovino, G. Perna +1
The curvaton provides a simple mechanism for generating strongly non-Gaussian curvature perturbations after inflation, with potentially important consequences on small scales. We s…
Running into tension: primordial black holes from ultra-slow-roll inflation, spectral running, and the Hubble tension
Miguel A. Sabogal, Antonio J. Iovino, Sunny Vagnozzi
Single-field ultra-slow-roll (USR) inflation is among the most studied mechanisms for primordial black hole (PBH) formation. When a non-stationary inflection point close to CMB sca…
Hunting Dark Matter with the Einstein Telescope
A. J. Iovino, M. Maggiore, N. Muttoni +1
Too light primordial black holes evaporate and are therefore strongly constrained by various bounds, e.g. Cosmic Microwave Background distortion. However, if they are formed strong…
The Dark Side of the Moon: Listening to Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves
D. Blas, J. W. Foster, Y. Gouttenoire +4
The collapse of large-amplitude primordial curvature perturbations into planetary-mass primordial black holes generates a scalar-induced gravitational wave background in the Hz…
Primordial black holes: constraints, potential evidence and prospects
Bernard Carr, Antonio J. Iovino, Gabriele Perna +2
Primordial black holes (PBHs) may have formed in the early Universe and may account for all or part of the dark matter. In this review, we summarize the current observational const…
