Detecting Intermediate-mass Black Holes Using Quasar Microlensing

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Zihao Wu, Luis C. Ho, , , | Summary: Recent studies suggest that numerous intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) may wander undetected across the Universe, emitting little radiation. These IMBHs largely preserve their birth masses, offering critical insights into the formation of heavy black hole seeds and […]

Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Fuminobu Takahashi, , | Summary: We study the evolution of Q-balls under a spontaneously broken global $U(1)$ symmetry. Q-balls are stabilized by the conservation of $U(1)$ charge, but when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the resulting Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson can carry charge away […]
