AI总结:

本文利用最大超暗矮星系样本和碰撞性 Fokker-Planck 模拟,考虑对数正态 PBH 质量分布,改进并强化了 O(1–100) M⊙ 原初黑洞不能构成全部暗物质的约束。

摘要:

在最近首次探测到来自黑洞并合的引力波后不久,就有人提出这些黑洞起源于原初。吸引人的是,足够数量的原初黑洞(PBHs)也可能部分或全部构成宇宙中的暗物质(DM)。然而,近期关于超暗矮星系(UFDGs)中 PBHs 的研究表明,由于两体弛豫过程,它们会动力学加热恒星组分。通过与观测到的恒星速度弥散和恒星半光半径比较,有研究声称只有质量 ≲10 M⊙ 的 PBHs 才能显著贡献于暗物质。在本工作中,我们通过采用最大的 UFDGs 观测样本,并允许 PBH 质量服从扩展的(对数正态)分布,改进了后一类约束。借助碰撞性 Fokker-Planck 模拟,我们探索了包含 PBHs 的 UFDGs 的广阔参数空间。对模拟所得半光半径和速度弥散的分析得出三项一般性发现,排除了质量约为 O(1–100) M⊙ 的 PBHs 构成全部暗物质的可能:(i)我们识别出一个关键的 UFDGs 子样本,其只允许约 O(1) M⊙ 的 PBH 质量;(ii)对于任何 PBH 质量,样本中都存在一个不支持该质量的 UFDG;(iii)大多数包含 PBHs 的模拟 UFDGs 的空间延展过大,无法与观测相符。

英文摘要:

Soon after the recent first ever detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes it has been suggested that their origin is primordial. Appealingly, a sufficient number of primordial black holes (PBHs) could also partially or entirely constitute the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. However, recent studies on PBHs in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDGs) suggest that they would dynamically heat up the stellar component due to two-body relaxation processes. From the comparison with the observed stellar velocity dispersions and the stellar half-light radii it was claimed that only PBHs with masses $\lesssim10\,M_\odot$ can significantly contribute to the DM. In this work, we improve the latter constraints by considering the largest observational sample of UFDGs and by allowing the PBH masses to follow an extended (log-normal) distribution. By means of collisional Fokker-Planck simulations, we explore a wide parameter space of UFDGs containing PBHs. The analysis of the half-light radii and velocity dispersions resulting from the simulations leads to three general findings that exclude PBHs with masses $\sim\mathcal{O}(1$-$100)\,M_\odot$ from constituting all of the DM: (i) We identify a critical sub-sample of UFDGs that only allows for $\sim\mathcal{O}(1)\,M_\odot$ PBH masses; (ii) for any PBH mass, there is an UFDG in our sample that disfavours it; (iii) the spatial extensions of a majority of simulated UFDGs containing PBHs are too large to match the observed.
