论文摘要

已经提出了第九行星可能是外部太阳系中的黑洞。我们研究了由小型OORT云对象的影响产生的积聚耀斑,并发现即将到来的LSST观察程序将能够在一年内排除或确认九个行星是黑洞。我们还发现,LSST可以排除或确认存在于Oort云边缘的捕获的行星质量黑洞的存在,间接探测在生物质量黑色孔中的暗物质分数,并通过数量级的当前限制在当前限制下有可能改善。

Planet Nine has been proposed to potentially be a black hole in the outer solar system. We investigate the accretion flares that would result from impacts of small Oort cloud objects, and find that the upcoming LSST observing program will be able to either rule out or confirm Planet Nine as a black hole within a year. We also find that LSST could rule out or confirm the existence of trapped planet-mass black holes out to the edge of the Oort cloud, indirectly probing the dark matter fraction in subsolar mass black holes and potentially improving upon current limits by orders of magnitude.
