Supernovae Could Search for Dark Objects the Usual Surveys Miss
Extended lenses comparable to their Einstein radii would imprint differently from the point sources targeted in primordial-black-hole searches.
Summary
Extended lenses comparable to their Einstein radii would imprint differently from the point sources targeted in primordial-black-hole searches.
The proposal calculates detection efficiency for ultracompact minihalos and maps projected abundance limits to primordial small-scale power. Rubin Observatory's expected supernova sample could open complementary parameter space. These are forecast constraints, not a detection.
Why it matters
Extended lenses comparable to their Einstein radii would imprint differently from the point sources targeted in primordial-black-hole searches.
Limits and context
- These are forecast constraints, not a detection.
