That being written, convincing observations showing only a fraction of the light curves could suffice? If so, only a fraction of the e.g. six years, corresponding to PIMBHs with one thousand solar masses, could well be enough to confirm the theory.

Finally, going back to the 2010 Vera Rubin quote mentioned in the Introduction, it is

”If I could have my pick, I would like to learn that Newton’s laws must be modified in order to correctly describe gravitational interactions at large distances. That’s more appealing than a universe filled with a new kind of sub-nuclear particle.”

If our solution for the dark matter problem is correct, Rubin’s preference for no new elementary particle filling the Universe would be vindicated, because for dark matter microscopic particles become irrelevant. Regarding Newton’s law of gravity, it would not need modification beyond theory which is needed for the black holes. In this sense, Rubin did not need to pick either alternative to explain darkmatter.

I. INTRODUCTION

Primordial black holes (PBHs) have been a source of intense interest for nearly 50 years [1], despite the fact that there is still no evidence for their existence. One reason for this is that only PBHs can be small enough for quantum radiation to be important [2]. After 42 years there is still no direct evidence for this e↵ect and people are still grappling with conceptual puzzles associated with the process [3]. Nevertheless, this discovery is generally recognised as one of the key developments in physics of the last century because it beautifully unified general relativity, quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. The fact that Hawking was only led to this discovery as a result of contemplating the properties of PBHs illustrates that it can be useful to study something even if it may not exist! PBHs smaller than 1015g would have evaporated by now with many interesting cosmological consequences [4, 5]. Studies of such consequences have placed useful constraints on models of the early universe [6–13] and, more positively, evaporating PBHs have also been invoked to explain certain features (such as the extragalactic and Galactic gamma- ray backgrounds [14–17], a primary component in cosmic rays [18, 19], the annihilation line radiation from the Galactic centre [20] and some short-period gamma-ray bursts [21]). However, there are usually other possible explanations for these features, so there is no definitive evidence for evaporating PBHs. Attention has therefore shifted to the PBHs larger than 1015g, which are una↵ected by . Such PBHs might have various astrophysical consequences (seeds for supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei [22–25], the generation of large-scale structure through Poisson-fluctuations [26, 27], heating the Galactic disc Marit:Refmissing, of the pregalactic medium [28–30]). But perhaps the most exciting possibility – and the main focus of this paper – is that they could provide the dark matter which comprises 25% of the critical density [31, 32]. Since

EXTENDED MASS FUNCTION?

Most constraints assume monochromatic PBH mass function

Can we evade standard limits with extended mass spectrum?

But this is two-edged sword!

PBHs may be dark matter even if fraction is low at each scale

PBHs giving dark matter at one scale may violate limits at others Do Do we PBHS AND LIGO need Pop III or primordial primordial or III Pop BHs ? (Smootslide)

1INTRODUCTION Gravitational-wave astronomy with KAGRA,1 Adv. LIGO,2 Adv. Virgo3 and GEO4 will reveal the formation and evolution of binaries through the observed merger rates of compact binaries, such as binary neutron stars (NS–NSs), –black hole binaries (NS–BHs) and binary black holes (BH–BHs). For this gravitational-wave astronomy, estimates of the merger rate of compact binaries play key roles to develop observational strategy and to translate the observed merger rates into the binary formation and evolution processes. There are two methods to estimate the merger rate of compact binaries. One is to use observational facts such as the observed NS–NSs whose coalescence time due to the emission of gravitational waves is less than the age of the Universe. Taking into account the observation time, the sensitivity of the radio telescope, the luminosity function of pulsars and the beaming factor so on, the probability distribution function of the merger rate can be found. For example, Kalogera et al. (2004b) found that the event rate of the coalescing NS–NSs is in the 5 1 1 4 1 1 5 range from 10− events yr− galaxy− to 4 10− events yr− galaxy− at the 99 per cent confidence level (see their fig. 2). × The merger rate of NS–NSs can be restricted by the rate of the observed Type Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe), supposing that the formation of NS–NSs really starts from the massive binary zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) stars. This is because the formation of the second neutron star should occur in association with Type Ib and Ic SNe in which the H-rich envelope and the He layer are lost, respectively, otherwise the
