The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) candidate event S251112cm suggests the presence of at least one compact object with sub-solar masses. Since such objects cannot be produced through standard stellar evolution, this observation provides a potential…
Although the dark matter is usually assumed to be some form of elementary particle, primordial black holes (PBHs) could also provide some of it. However, various constraints restrict the possible mass windows to $10^{16}$ - $10^{17}\,$g,…
