Understand

We give an explanation for the signal detected by NANOGrav as the stochastic gravitational wave background from binary mergers of primordial "Stupendously Large Black Holes" (SLABs) of mass $M\sim(10^{11}-10^{12})M_{\odot}$, and corresponding to roughly $0.1\%$ of the dark matter.

We show that the stringent bounds coming from $\mu$ distortions of the CMB can be surpassed if the perturbations resulting in these BHs arise from the non-Gaussian distribution of fluctuations expected in single field models of inflation generating a spike in the power spectrum.
While the tail of the stochastic background coming from binaries with $M\lesssim 10^{11}M_{\odot}$ could both fit NANOGrav and respect $\mu$ distortions limits, they become excluded from large scale structure constraints.
