M.R.S. Hawkins published a paper making the point that stellar-mass black holes could constitute virtually all of the dark matter if galactic halo models were inadequate. Errors in galactic modeling assumptions could lead to a major underestimate of MACHO populations discovered by microlensing.

Here is his paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1503.01935

Guess what? The newest test of galactic models indicates they have major problems. Read all about it here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171127124737.htm

One more step to revealing what seems increasingly likely to some: the dark matter is composed of stellar-mass primordial black holes.
