The clustering of massive Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter: measuring their mass distribution with Advanced LIGO
@article{Clesse2016TheCO, title={The clustering of massive Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter: measuring their mass distribution with Advanced LIGO}, author={S. Clesse and J. Garc'ia-Bellido}, journal={arXiv: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics}, year={2016} }
The recent detection by Advanced LIGO of gravitational waves (GW) from the merging of a binary black hole system sets new limits on the merging rates of massive primordial black holes (PBH) that could be a significant fraction or even the totality of the dark matter in the Universe. aLIGO opens the way to the determination of the distribution and clustering of such massive PBH. If PBH clusters have a similar density to the one observed in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, we find merging rates… Expand
