On the Increase in the Density of Primordial Black Holes in the Halos of Dwarf Galaxies

Through numerical experiments, we have predicted that if dark matter contains even a small fraction, $${{f}_{0}} \sim {{10}^{{ - 4}}}$$ , of primordial black holes (PBHs), during the formation of the gravitationally bound halo of a dwarf galaxy, these PBHs will concentrate in a region with a radius of about 10 pc, so that their local fraction will exceed 1%. Unlike previous studies of PBH migration to the centers of galaxies, the numerical experiments conducted here take into account the early formation of a massive “dress” of dark matter around the PBHs and the non-stationarity of the halo during its formation. Applying our results to models of heating stellar clusters in the Eridanus II and Segue I galaxies due to dynamical friction between stars and PBHs allows us to impose constraints on the abundance of PBHs that are two orders of magnitude stricter than previously thought.
