Accretion of Primordial Black Holes in Stellar Interiors
Matteo Cantiello, Ore Gottlieb, Cameron Norton +2
We study spherical accretion onto primordial black holes (PBHs) embedded in the core of a solar-type star. We compute the radiative efficiency self-consistently for the first time…
The Life and Death of Stars That Capture Primordial Black Holes
Ore Gottlieb, Matteo Cantiello, Cameron Norton +2
Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the asteroid mass window () remain viable dark matter candidates and can be captured by stars. We develop the first globa…
ESO White Paper on Intensity Interferometry: Cosmology, Fundamental Physics, Quantum Optics
Robin Kaiser, William Guerin, Farrokh Vakili +21
In this whitepaper, we outline how recent technological advances and ongoing developments open qualitatively new science opportunities in cosmology, fundamental physics, and quantu…
Stellar physics at sub-nanoradian angular resolution
P. Batista, J. Biteau, C. Carlile +36
Many stars -- if they could be imaged with enough angular resolution -- would exhibit features expected from theory but not possible to extract from spectra. We may group these by…
Expanding Ejecta Method: II. Framework for Cosmological Distance Measurements via Intensity Interferometry
David Dunsky, I-Kai Chen, Junwu Huang +2
We explore the potential of the expanding ejecta method (EEM) as a cosmological probe, leveraging its ability to measure angular diameter distances to supernovae (SNe) with intensi…
Expanding Ejecta Method: I. Mapping Supernova Morphology with Intensity Interferometry
I-Kai Chen, David Dunsky, Ken Van Tilburg +2
We explore the potential of optical intensity interferometry to extract angularly resolved information from supernova explosions, introducing the "expanding ejecta method" (EEM) as…
