Initial clustering and the primordial black hole merger rate
Sam Young, Christian T. Byrnes
If the primordial curvature perturbation followed a Gaussian distribution, primordial black holes (PBHs) will be Poisson distributed with no additional clustering. We consider loca…
The primordial black hole formation criterion re-examined: parameterisation, timing, and the choice of window function
Sam Young
In this paper, the criterion used to determine whether a density perturbation will collapse to form a primordial black hole (PBH) is re-examined, in respect of its use to determine…
Primordial black hole formation and abundance: contribution from the non-linear relation between the density and curvature perturbation
Sam Young, Ilia Musco, Christian T. Byrnes
The formation and abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) arising from the curvature perturbation is studied. The non-linear relation between and the density contrast $δ…
Primordial Non-Gaussianity
P. Daniel Meerburg, Daniel Green, Muntazir Abidi +175
Our current understanding of the Universe is established through the pristine measurements of structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the distribution and shapes of…
Electromagnetic probes of primordial black holes as dark matter
Y. Ali-Haimoud, S. Clesse, J. Garcia-Bellido +91
The LIGO discoveries have rekindled suggestions that primordial black holes (BHs) may constitute part to all of the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Such suggestions came from 1)…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
