We study the impact of stellar cooling due to light axion emission on the formation and evolution of black hole binaries, via stable mass transfer and the common envelope scenario. We find that in
the presence of light axion emission, no binary blac... Read More about Light axion emission and the formation of merging binary black holes.

Gravitational wave constraints on extended dark matter structures (2023)
Journal Article
Croon, D., Ipek, S., & McKeen, D. (2023). Gravitational wave constraints on extended dark matter structures. Physical Review D, 107(6), Article 063012. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.107.063012

We generalize existing constraints on primordial black holes to dark objects with extended sizes using the aLIGO design sensitivity. We show that LIGO is sensitive to dark objects with radius Oð10 − 103 kmÞ if they make up more than ∼Oð10−2 − 10−3Þ o...
