Comment on "Comments on recent work on dark-matter capture in the Solar System"

TL;DR

This paper critiques a recent preprint's misquoting and questions its conclusion that dark matter density bound to the Solar System is negligible compared to the Galactic halo.

Contribution

It clarifies misquotations in the criticized work and questions the validity of its conclusion regarding dark matter density in the Solar System.

Findings

Identifies misquoting in the criticized preprint

Questions the conclusion about low dark matter density in the Solar System

Highlights uncertainty in dark matter density estimates

Abstract

The criticism contained in the recent preprint arxiv:1004.5258 is based essentially on misquoting the articles criticized therein. As to the conclusion advocated in that preprint, according to which the density of dark matter bound to the Solar System is small as compared to the dark-matter density in the Galactic halo, it is not clear whether this claim is correct.
