Key Details

PBHs can accrete matter, increasing mass/spin over time

Accretion rate depends on PBH mass and redshift

PBH binaries accrete more matter than isolated PBHs

More massive PBHs reach higher spins from accretion

Feedback effects can reduce accretion efficiency

AI generated summary

PBH growth through accretion

Primordial black holes may accrete surrounding matter over cosmic history. This increases their mass and spin, and they emit radiation. Feedback effects can reduce accretion efficiency. The authors review accretion rate calculations and predictions for PBH mass and spin evolution.
