Detected stochastic gravitational waves and subsolar-mass primordial black holes

K Inomata, K Kohri, T Terada - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Multiple pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently announced the evidence of
common-spectral processes caused by gravitational waves (GWs). These can be the …

Primordial gravitational waves from NANOGrav: A broken power-law approach

M Benetti, LL Graef, S Vagnozzi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We revisit the possibility that the stochastic common-spectrum process recently detected by
the NANOGrav pulsar timing array experiment could be due to primordial gravitational …

Primordial black holes from Gauss-Bonnet-corrected single field inflation

S Kawai, J Kim - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Primordial black holes formed in the early Universe via gravitational collapse of over-dense
regions may contribute a significant amount to the present dark matter relic density. Inflation …
