Gravitational wave constraints on extended dark matter structures

Croon, Djuna; Ipek, Seyda; McKeen, David

Abstract

We generalize existing constraints on primordial black holes to dark objects with extended sizes using the aLIGO design sensitivity. We show that LIGO is sensitive to dark objects with radius Oð10 − 103 kmÞ if they make up more than ∼Oð10−2 − 10−3Þ of dark matter.
