Constraining Non-Annihilating Ultra-Heavy Dark Matter Models Using Exoplanets

ORAL

Abstract

We propose exoplanets as new targets for indirect dark matter searches. Dark matter capture by exoplanets can lead to the formation of black holes within their cores. These black holes can either grow into small-size black holes or evaporate, causing anomalous heating of the exoplanets.
