... “plums”, PIMBHs in the mass range of Eq.(1) making up 100% of the dark matter. On the other hand, in Figure 9 of ROM [9], there is displayed an upper limit of less than 0.01% of the dark matter for this mass range of MACHO. Thus, it would seem that at least one of [3] and [9] must be incorrect? The ...
