The Origin of the Fermi Halo-like Emission: A New Model of the Fermi Bubbles

Ilias Cholis, Leo Qiyuan Hu, Yi-Ming Zhong

We study the gamma-ray sky at high latitudes for energies between 0.3 and 900 GeV. We search for a contribution in the high-latitude sky and in the region of the Galactic Stellar H…

Limits on primordial black holes from the extragalactic gamma-ray background; current status and future projections

Ilias Cholis, Iason Krommydas, John Carlini

Primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly formed from the collapse of early universe perturbations, will evaporate via Hawking radiation with a lifetime comparable to the age of the…

Galactic Center gamma-ray excess from a generic triaxial halo

Leo Qiyuan Hu, Ilias Cholis, Yi-Ming Zhong

Recent studies of Galactic surveys, such as Gaia, have revealed that the Milky Way's gravitational potential comes from a matter distribution that is triaxial and rotated with resp…

The Merger Rate of Primordial Black Holes

Muhsin Aljaf, Ilias Cholis

The merger rate of primordial black hole (PBH) binaries can be used to understand the source population of the merging black hole binaries observable through gravitational-waves (G…

GammaPBHPlotter: A public code for calculating the complete Hawking evaporation gamma-ray spectra from primordial black holes

John Carlini, Ilias Cholis

We present GammaPBHPlotter, a public Python code for calculating and plotting the Hawking radiation gamma-ray spectra of primordial black holes in the mass range of to $1…

Robustness of the Galactic Center Excess Morphology Against Masking

Yi-Ming Zhong, Ilias Cholis

The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) remains an enduring mystery, with leading explanations being annihilating dark matter or an unresolved population of millisecond pulsars. Analyzing…
