[ON-LINE] Gravitational wave observations and primordial black holes
https://meet.google.com/fsr-oyfv-hpr (the seminar takes place on-line only)
The direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole (BH) merger by LIGO marked the dawn of a new era in cosmology. In this talk I will first discuss the LIGO observations and future GW experiments. Then, I will focus on the possibility that (a fraction of) dark matter is in primordial black holes (PBHs) and show how their abundance can be probed by GW observatories.
