On the orbital eccentricities of primordial black hole binaries inside and outside of dark matter halos
Muhsin Aljaf, Ilias Cholis
Primordial black hole (PBH) binaries in the stellar mass range may still contribute a fraction of the detectable compact object binaries by LIGO and future GW observatories. PBH bi…
Conservative limits on primordial black holes from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations
Mehdi El Bouhaddouti, Muhsin Aljaf, Ilias Cholis
Primordial black holes (PBH) may constitute a considerable fraction of dark matter. In this work we use the recent observations by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaborations to set…
Binary Black Holes population synthesis based on the current LVK observations
Mehdi El Bouhaddouti, Ilias Cholis, Muhsin Aljaf
The ongoing observations from ground based gravitational-wave observatories have led to the detection of more than a hundred merger events between black holes. We use the LIGO-Virg…
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…
Simulating Binary Primordial Black Hole Mergers in Dark Matter Halos
Muhsin Aljaf, Ilias Cholis
Primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly constituting a non-negligible fraction of dark matter (DM), might be responsible for a number of gravitational wave events detected by LIGO/…
