Search for Gravitational Waves from High-Mass-Ratio Compact-Binary Mergers of Stellar Mass and Subsolar Mass Black Holes
Search for Gravitational Waves from High-Mass-Ratio Compact-Binary Mergers of Stellar Mass and Subsolar Mass Black Holes
We present the first search for gravitational waves from the coalescence of stellar mass and subsolar mass black holes with masses between $20--100\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ and $0.01--1\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}(10--{10}^{3}\text{ }\text{ }{M}_{J})$, respectively. The observation of a single subsolar mass black hole would establish the existence of primordial black holes and …
