Cosmic microwave background bounds on primordial black holes including dark matter halo accretion

Even if massive (10M_{⊙}≲M≲10^{4}M_{⊙}) primordial black holes (PBHs) can only account for a small fraction of the dark matter (DM) in the universe, they may still be responsible for a sizable fraction of the coalescence events measured by LIGO/Virgo, and/or act as progenitors of the supermassive bl...
