On Planetary-Mass Compact Objects as Dark Matter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We assess to what extent the claimed signature of planetarymass compact objects in the long-term optical light curves of quasars really can be explained by the dark matter populations allowed in the currently favoured ΩM = 0.3, ΩΛ = 0.7 cosmology. Revised upper limits on the cosmological density of planetary-mass compact objects inferred from the statistics of quasar light curves and the equivalent widths of quasar emission lines are also presented.
