Effect of Primordial Black Holes on the Cosmic Microwave Background and Cosmological Parameter Estimates
Massimo Ricotti, Jeremiah P. Ostriker, Katherine J. Mack
We investigate the effect of non-evaporating primordial black holes (PBHs) on the ionization and thermal history of the universe. X-rays emitted by gas accretion onto PBHs modify t…

Is the Concentration of Dark Matter Halos at Virialization Universal ?
Massimo Ricotti, Andrew Pontzen, Matteo Viel
Several recent studies suggest a correlation between dark matter halo mass and the shape of the density profile. We re-analyze simulations from Ricotti (2003) in which such a corre…
