The black hole binary properties inferred from the LIGO gravitational wave signal GW150914 posed several serious problems. The high masses and low effective spin of black hole binary can be explained if they are primordial (PBH) rather than the products of the stellar binary evolution. Such PBH properties are postulated ad hoc but not derived from fundamental theory. We show that the necessary features of PBHs naturally follow from the slightly modified Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism of baryogenesis. The log-normal distribution of PBHs, predicted within the AD paradigm, is adjusted to provide an abundant population of low-spin stellar mass black holes. The same distribution gives a sufficient number of quickly growing seeds of supermassive black holes observed at high redshifts and may comprise an appreciable fraction of Dark Matter which does not contradict any existing observational limits. Testable predictions of this scenario are discussed.

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. Measuring the se signals with optical telescopes is a powerful method to constrain the PBH abundance in the range of $10^{-10},M_{odot}$ to $10^{1},M_{odot}$. Especially for galactic stars, the finiteness of the sources needs to be taken into account. For low PBH masses (in this work $lesssim 10^{-8},M_{odot}$) the average duration of the detectable event decreases with the mass $langle t_erangle propto M_{mathrm{PBH}}$. For $M_{mathrm{PBH}}approx 10^{-11},M_{odot}$ we find $langle t_erangle lesssim,1 mathrm{s}$. For this reason, fast sampling detectors may be required as they could enable the detection of low mass PBHs. Current limits are set with sampling speeds of 2 minutes to 24 hours in the optical regime. Ground-based Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) are optimized to detect the $sim$ns long optical Cherenkov signals induced by atmospheric air showers. As shown recently, the very-large mirror area of these instruments provides very high signal to noise ratio for fast optical transients ($ll 1,$s) such as asteroid occultations. We investigate whether optical observations by IACTs can contribute to extending microlensing limits to the unconstrained mass range $M_{mathrm{PBH}}<10^{-10}M_odot$. We discuss the limiting factors to perform these searches for each telescope type. We calculate the rate of expected detectable microlensing events in the relevant mass range for the current and next-generation IACTs considering realistic source parameters.
Interstellar gas heating is a powerful cosmology-independent observable for exploring the parameter space of primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the early Universe that could constitute part of the dark matter (DM). We provide a detailed analysis of the various aspects for this observable, such as PBH emission mechanisms. Using observational data from the Leo T dwarf galaxy, we constrain the PBH abundance over a broad mass-range, $M_{rm PBH} sim mathcal{O}(1) M_{odot}-10^7 M_{odot}$, relevant for the recently detected gravitational wave signals from intermediate-mass BHs. We also consider PBH gas heating of systems with bulk relative velocity with respect to the DM, such as Galactic clouds.
Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) are of interest in many cosmological contexts. PBHs lighter than about 1012 kg are predicted to be directly detectable by their Hawking radiation. This radiation should produce both a diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray back ground from the cosmologically-averaged distribution of PBHs and gamma-ray burst signals from individual light black holes. The Fermi, Milagro, Veritas, HESS and HAWC observatories, in combination with new burst recognition methodologies, offer the greatest sensitivity for the detection of such black holes or placing limits on their existence.
We propose a new scenario for the evolution of a binary of primordial black holes (PBHs). We consider a dynamical friction by ambient dark matter, scattering of dark matter particles with a highly eccentric orbit besides the standard two-body relaxat ion process to refill the loss cone, and interaction between the binary and a circumbinary disk, assuming that PBHs do not constitute the bulk of dark matter. Binary PBHs lose the energy and angular momentum by these processes, which could be sufficiently efficient for a typical configuration. Such a binary coalesces due to the gravitational wave emission in a time scale much shorter than the age of the universe. We estimate the density parameter of the resultant gravitational wave background. Astrophysical implication concerning the formation of intermediate-mass to supermassive black holes is also discussed.
Every GRB model where the progenitor is assumed to be a highly relativistic hadronic jet whose pions, muons and electron pair secondaries are feeding the gamma jets engine, necessarily (except for very fine-tuned cases) leads to a high average neutri no over photon radiant exposure (radiance), a ratio well above unity, though the present observed average IceCube neutrino radiance is at most comparable to the gamma in the GRB one. Therefore no hadronic GRB, fireball or hadronic thin precessing jet, escaping exploding star in tunneled or penetrarting beam, can fit the actual observations. A new model is shown here, based on a purely electronic progenitor jet, fed by neutrons (and relics) stripped from a neutron star (NS) by tidal forces of a black hole or NS companion, showering into a gamma jet. Such thin precessing spinning jets explain unsolved puzzles such as the existence of the X-ray precursor in many GRBs. The present pure electron jet model, disentangling gamma and (absent) neutrinos, explains naturally why there is no gamma GRB correlates with any simultaneous TeV IceCube astrophysical neutrinos. Rare unstable NS companion stages while feeding the jet may lead to an explosion simulating a SN event. Recent IceCube-160731A highest energy muon neutrino event with absent X-gamma traces confirms the present model expectations.
