Novel Approach to the Dark Matter Problem: Primordial Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Paul H. Frampton
TL;DR
This paper discusses the hypothesis that dark matter in galactic halos may consist of primordial intermediate-mass black holes, exploring their potential as dark matter candidates.
Contribution
It presents a scientific discussion on the viability of primordial intermediate-mass black holes as dark matter constituents, offering a new perspective on dark matter composition.
Findings
Primordial black holes could account for dark matter in galactic halos.
Mass range of these black holes is between 10 and 100,000 solar masses.
The paper encourages further observational and theoretical research.
Abstract
A discussion at a Scientific American level of the idea that the constituents of the dark mater in galactic halos are primordial intermediate-mass black holes with masses between ten and one hundred thousand times the solar mass.
