GW200105 and GW200115 are compatible with a scenario of primordial black hole binary coalescences

Abstract Two gravitational wave events, i.e. GW200105 and GW200115, were observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors recently. In this work, we show that they can be explained by a scenario of primordial black hole binaries that are formed in the early Universe. The merger rate predicted by su...
