Find the Gap: Black Hole Population Analysis with an Astrophysically Motivated Mass Function
Eric J. Baxter, Djuna Croon, Samuel D. McDermott +1
We introduce a novel black hole mass function which realistically models the physics of star formation and pair instability supernova with a minimal number of parameters. Applying…
Constraints on Primordial Black Holes From Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Revisited
Celeste Keith, Dan Hooper, Nikita Blinov +1
As space expands, the energy density in black holes increases relative to that of radiation, providing us with motivation to consider scenarios in which the early universe containe…
Hot Gravitons and Gravitational Waves From Kerr Black Holes in the Early Universe
Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, John March-Russell +2
Any abundance of black holes that was present in the early universe will evolve as matter, making up an increasingly large fraction of the total energy density as space expands. Th…
Dark Photon Dark Matter in the Presence of Inhomogeneous Structure
Samuel J. Witte, Salvador Rosauro-Alcaraz, Samuel D. McDermott +1
Dark photon dark matter will resonantly convert into visible photons when the dark photon mass is equal to the plasma frequency of the ambient medium. In cosmological contexts, thi…
Constraining the Self-Interacting Neutrino Interpretation of the Hubble Tension
Nikita Blinov, Kevin J. Kelly, Gordan Krnjaic +1
Large, non-standard neutrino self-interactions have been shown to resolve the tension in Hubble constant measurements and a milder tension in the amplitude of matter fluc…
Cosmological Probes of Dark Matter Interactions: The Next Decade
Vera Gluscevic, Yacine Ali-Haimoud, Keith Bechtol +16
Cosmological observations offer unique and robust avenues for probing the fundamental nature of dark matter particles-they broadly test a range of compelling theoretical scenarios,…
