abstract

We investigate the impact of radiation from primordial black holes (PBHs), in the mass range of $10^{15} \lesssim M_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10^{17}~\rm g$ and $10^{2} \lesssim M_{\rm PBH} \lesssim 10^{4}~M_{\odot}$, on the 21-cm angular-power spectrum in the dark ages. PBHs in the former mass range effect the 21-cm angular-power spectrum through the evaporation known as Hawking radiation, while the radiation from the accretion process in the latter mass range. In the dark ages, radiation from PBHs can increase the ionization fraction and temperature of the intergalactic medium, change the global 21-cm differential brightness temperature and then effect the 21-cm angular-power spectrum. Taking into account the effects of PBHs, we find that in the dark ages, $30 \lesssim z \lesssim 100$, the amplitude of the 21-cm angular-power spectrum is decreased depending on the mass and mass fraction of PBHs. We also investigate the potential constraints on the mass fraction of PBHs in the form of dark matter for the future radio telescope in lunar obit or on the farside surface of the Moon.

  1. Refining primordial black hole dark matter constraints with dust heating: the role of spin and halo profile dependence

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dust-heating constraints on PBH dark matter tighten to f_PBH ≈ 10^-4 when PBH spin is included, with the strongest limits for the Isothermal halo profile and weakest for Burkert.

  2. Constraining primordial black holes and primordial curvature power spectrum with extragalactic muon neutrino

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Neutrino flux from WIMP annihilation in PBH-seeded UCMHs yields f_PBH ≲ 4×10^{-5} (strongest) and P_R ≲ 10^{-1.65} at k∼3×10^{12} Mpc^{-1}.

  3. Relativistic accretion and burdened primordial black holes

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Combining relativistic accretion with memory-burdened evaporation widens the parameter space for primordial black holes as dark matter and changes dark matter and dark radiation emission predictions.
