• Solar-mass primordial black holes explain NANOGrav hint of gravitational waves (2020, background): “The dark shaded regions at the top are constraints from EROS-2 [88] and MACHO [89] (brown), caustic crossing [90] (purple), Advanced LIGO O2 (subsolar mass range) [91] (gray), Advanced LIGO non-detection of the stochastic GW background [92, 93] (cyan), and the E-mode polarization of the CMB due to t”
• Primordial black holes as generators of cosmic structures (2018, background): “…by Mediavilla et al. (2009) suggest a limit f(m) < 0.05 for 0.1M < m < 10M (i.e. the same mass rnage) but the microlensing of supernovae (Zumalacarregui & Seljak 2017) or stars in the giant arcs gererated by cluster lensing (Oguri et al. 2018) extends the constraints to masses of around 104M .”
• Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter: Recent Developments (2020, background): “[169] argue that the particular event MACS J1149 excludes a high density of PBHs anywhere in the mass range 10−5M < M < 10 M because this would reduce the magnifications.”
