Primordial black holes (PBHs) can make up all of the dark matter (DM) if their mass, m, is in the so-called “asteroid-mass window”, 10^{17} g ≲ m ≲ 10^{22} g1017g≲m≲1022g. Observational constraints on the abundance of PBHs are usually calculated assu... Read More about How open is the asteroid-mass primordial black hole window?.

Historically the most popular dark matter candidates have been new elementary particles, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles and axions. However Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), black holes formed from overdensities in the early Universe, are... Read More about Primordial black holes as a dark matter candidate - a brief overview.
