A Unified Origin of Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter and Nanohertz Gravitational Waves
Guillem Domènech, Shi Pi, Ao Wang
Recent high-cadence observations by Subaru-HSC have identified a population of ultrashort-timescale microlensing events, providing a compelling window for planet-mass primordial bl…
Constraining the Primordial Black Hole Abundance with Space-Based Detectors
Wencong Hong, Shi Pi, Ao Wang +1
Overdense regions can collapse into primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early universe, which are a compelling candidate for dark matter. Current constraints leave the asteroid-ma…
Observable Gravitational Wave Strain at Second Order
Guillem Domènech, Shi Pi, Ao Wang
There is currently no rigorous definition of gravitational wave strain at second order in cosmological perturbation theory. The usual association of gravitational waves with transv…
Revisiting the Ultraviolet Tail of the Primordial Gravitational Wave
Shi Pi, Misao Sasaki, Ao Wang +1
High-frequency primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) with wave numbers larger than the Hubble parameter at the end of inflation are originated from the ultraviolet (UV) modes, whic…
