Eppur non si trovano: Comments on the Primordial Black Hole Limits in the Galactic Halo
AI总结:
该文对近期关于银河系暗物质晕中原始黑洞限制的争议进行评论,指出对方的质疑存在科学错误,并强调尽管进行了广泛搜索,相关天体仍未被发现。
摘要:
在最近的一篇arXiv帖子中,Hawkins与Garcia-Bellido对持续20年的OGLE光度监测结果提出了质疑,这些结果未在大麦哲伦云方向发现大量引力微透镜事件。这些结果暗示,质量在10^-8到10^3太阳质量范围内的原始黑洞及其他致密天体无法构成银河系暗物质晕的显著部分。不幸的是,Hawkins与Garcia-Bellido的帖子中包含了一些对我们的工作的科学误表。在这里,我们证明他们的论点缺乏坚实的基础或仅仅是错误的。正如我们下面将展示的,'然而它们并未被发现'——尽管进行了广泛的搜索,银河系暗晕中的致密天体(包括原始黑洞)仍然未被发现。
英文摘要:
In a recent arXiv post, Hawkins & Garcia-Bellido raised doubts on the results of 20-yr long OGLE photometric monitoring, which did not find a large number of gravitational microlensing events in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds. These results implied that primordial black holes and other compact objects with masses from 10^{-8} to 10^3 M_solar cannot comprise a substantial fraction of the Milky Way dark matter halo. Unfortunately, the Hawkins & Garcia-Bellido post contained a number of scientific misrepresentations of our work. Here, we demonstrate that their arguments lack a solid basis or are simply incorrect. As we show below, "and yet they are not found" - compact objects (including primordial black holes) in the dark halo of the Milky Way remain undetected, despite extensive searches.
