Description
Dark Matter can be captured by celestial objects and accumulate at their centers. If the density is high enough, these dark matter cores can collapse into small black holes. If the nascent black hole is large enough, it will eventually consume its host. If it is smaller, it will evaporate via Hawing radiation, which his potentially observable as an anomalous heat flux or an anomalous neutrino flux. We show how such arguments can be used to constrain dark matter, in particular super-heavy dark matter particles.
