The idea that primordial black holes (PBHs) can comprise most of the dark matter of the universe has recently reacquired a lot of momentum. Observational constraints, however, rule out this possibility for most of the PBH masses, with a…
Primordial black holes (PBHs), hypothesized to be the result of density fluctuations during the early universe, are candidates for dark matter. When microlensing background stars, they cause a transient apparent enhancement of the flux.…

We examine the effects ultra-light primordial black holes (PBHs) have on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). PBHs in the mass range of $10^{15}$ to $10^{17}$ g emit Hawking radiation in the early Universe, modifying…
