The limits of cosmology

Joseph Silk

The Moon is our future. It may seem like a chimera with a projected cost in excess of 100 billion$, and counting, dispensed on ARTEMIS with little to show to date. However it is t…

Local non-Gaussianities from cross-correlations between the CMB and 21-cm

Giorgio Orlando, Thomas Flöss, P. Daniel Meerburg +1

The 21-cm brightness temperature fluctuation from the Dark Ages () will allow us to probe the inflationary epoch on very small scales ($>0.1 \, \mbox{Mpc}^{-1}$),…

Microlensing Black Hole Shadows

Himanshu Verma, Joseph Silk

A detailed analysis is presented of gravitational microlensing by intervening compact objects of the black hole shadows imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). We show how the…

TRINITY III: Quasar Luminosity Functions Decomposed by Halo, Galaxy, and Black Hole Masses and Eddington Ratios from z=0-10

Haowen Zhang, Peter Behroozi, Marta Volonteri +5

We present the redshift evolution of quasar luminosity functions decomposed by halo mass, galaxy mass, supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass, and Eddington ratio, as well as SMBH kin…

Magnetic fields catalyze massive black hole formation and growth

Mitchell C. Begelman, Joseph Silk

Large-scale magnetic fields in the nuclear regions of protogalaxies can promote the formation and early growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by direct collapse and magnetical…

Neutrino signals from Neutron Star implosions to Black Holes

Yossef Zenati, C. Albertus, M. Ángeles Pérez-García +1

We calculate the neutrino luminosity in an astrophysical scenario where dark matter is captured by a neutron star which eventually implodes to form a low mass black hole. The Troja…
